Bradley Baseball attendance averages well under 500/game... not students, TOTAL attendance. I don't think there would be a problem with fans and alumni if Bradley decided (or was forced) to drop baseball. Wouldn't Bradley have to drop a women's program if they dropped baseball? And if so, which program?The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies... - John Walter Wayland -
I think that Bradley is already at the minimum number of sports required at Division 1. If baseball is dropped, maybe they could add a men’s sport that is less costly.Comment

Drop baseball and bring back men's tennis (again). Less than 5 scholarships and they can play where the women play. They probably would draw about the same attendance and community interest as the baseball team.Originally posted by molar50 View PostThe True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies... - John Walter WaylandComment

OI will ask one question on why Bradley baseball is not very good. Who brought in the coach and hired him?Comment

That's already been discussed. Elvis is NOT a bad coach. Bradley has just made it a point not to fund the baseball program adequately to compete with the top Valley programs. We get it, Glasser sucks, but she's NOT the reason the baseball program is bad to mediocre.Originally posted by bradleyfan124 View PostThe True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies... - John Walter WaylandComment

Well said. It's time we moved on from default Glasser-Cross excuses across the board.Originally posted by PhiAlphaBoy View PostComment

And he was the definition of mediocre.

If Bradley had the budget, resources, and support that mens soccer has had over the past decade, they'd be a top MVC program annually. Basbeall gets the shaft and is probably the most likely sports program to produce an alum of donation power.Originally posted by PhiAlphaBoy View PostComment

This is what has always bothered me about the lack of support for the baseball program. Obviously, Curtis Granderson's $5 million gift to UIC wasn't typical, but a well-funded baseball program at Bradley is more likely to generate a major leaguer than the basketball program generating another NBA player.Originally posted by JMM28 View PostComment

Old Coach and JMM28 make great points. Why hasn't/doesn't anyone at Bradley see this?The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies... - John Walter WaylandComment

Unfortunately, the soccer program has been over-funded for the last 10-15 years.Originally posted by PhiAlphaBoy View PostComment

Final wrapup-Originally posted by Da Coach on 4/27/23 View Post
Bradley baseball finishes the season with a final record of 16-32, losing 9 of their final 12 games.
They finished the MVC season 7-20, and in 10th place (dead last).
They failed to make the MVC postseason tournament, which takes only the top 8 teams.
