Bradley NIL

[Da Coach]

We seem to have had a slight glitch, which is now resolved. Not sure why, but someone hacked the server files. I was out of town for the weekend, so couldn't get a chance to fix things until this morning. I hope everything is working OK for everyone now.
We might need to go offline again for a while later today to upgrade the website.

The only thing we missed was news about the members of the team all signing NIL deals for the 2nd year-

Thanks for the patience. The website files are nearly updated and things should get back to normal.

Do you know who hacked into the website? Were the initials J.G.?

[Da Coach]

Haha... No way of telling, but probably not. There were some weird things embedded by the hacker.
if anyone was having issues getting redirected to other websites, like crypto sites, etc, it should be fixed now. (fingers crossed)

Anyone else notice in the photo (above) of the full team and the NIL group that both Almar Atlason and Malevy Leon appear noticeably taller than Kyle Thomas? Thomas is listed on the roster as 6'10", Malevy Leon at 6'9", and Almar Atlason at 6'8". And Jonovic looks like he is 4-5" taller than Thomas. Photos can distort the perspective, but are some of the guys still growing?

For what its worth, the guys had different kinds of footwear on - some were in sandals, some had sneakers, etc. Almar and Mal are about the same height. Ahmet is a legit 7-1. KT is slouched in that picture too, he is a little taller than Almar.

Yes, that is what we'd assume from the heights listed on the roster, and from an earlier photo of the team. It just seemed odd to see Kyle Thomas looking shorter than Almar and Malevy. Malevy must be standing on his toes, as he is several inches taller than Hannah, Linke, Thomas, and Almar.
Thanks.

Special guest on Greg and Dan/1470 in about 12 minutes. Talking about the latest fundraising effort for Home of the Brave.

If you missed this, there is a podcast of this interview available here-
https://omny.fm/shows/greg-dan-show-interviews/home-of-the-brave-nil-partners-with-gray-duck-spir

The interview (worth listening to) was with Jerry Schulz, about a new venture that will benefit the Home of the Brave NIL group, and ultimately help the Bradley athletes.
Schulz and a couple friends founded and own Gray Duck Spirits in Lakeville, Minnesota, which makes Gray Duck Vodka. They have partnered with Home of the Brave NIL and will produce a private label "Home of the Brave" vodka, along with a beer product, which will be available for fans (and anyone else) to buy locally through Home of the Brave.
It should be available mid-October.

By the way, is there any chance the Home of the Brave people can get Carver Arena or the Renaissance Coliseum to sell the new Gray Duck/HOTB products at Bradley events?

I thiiiiink we can get that accomplished.

We have several bars and restaurants that have committed to the program already. We are working on a few liquor and grocery type retailers as well.
