Big new corporate partnership for Bradley athletics

[Da Coach]

There has been nothing announced yet locally or by the PJ Star, and there are few details in this WAND-TV (Decatur) news release, but Bradley Athletics (specifically Bradley men's basketball) has entered into a new corporate partnership involving 3 other schools (ISU, EIU, and the U of I) with the 97 Central Illinois McDonald's restaurants-

Maybe we'll have Big Mac giveaways, and special deals at McD's restaurants when Bradley wins!

The Peoria Journal Star just now has a brief report of the news of this new partnership between Bradley (as well as U of I, EIU, and ISU) and the Central Illinois McDonald's restaurants that was reported yesterday.

Another kind of partnership- The MVC just announced a new radio partnership with St. Louis radio station KTRS 550 AM to carry all the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament games in St. Louis-
