Is this a cost cutting move?

Is this a cost cutting move?

I can only speculate but I highly doubt it. Bobby has put in his time and is literally worth his weight in gold in Sports Information. I would speculate he is just moving on. Over 30 years of experience in college athletics in some capacity. As an athlete, SID, and Associate AD. He’s probably just ready to take his own path. All speculation though.

Accurate. Not a cost cutting move. BP is going to be greatly missed.

Feels like BP has been around forever. Definitely since I was a student and my now wife was also a student and worked part time at the ticket office. In my limited interaction with him back then he was always a great guy and I feel like he represented the university well and bleeds Bradley Athletics. He will definitely be missed but I wish him the best with his new venture and with Peoria City. Thanks for all your efforts and dedication BP!

Jen Jones is now the longest tenured Athletic Department employee. She has been at Bradley since 1999.

Dave Snell isn't there?

Dave Snell isn't there?

He is. Obviously Dave has been around for a long, long time. I'm not sure that he's technically been an Athletic Department employee continuously for as long as Jen, but maybe so.

[Da Coach]

I believe Dave Snell did not become a full time Athletic Dept. employee until the Glasser era.

Glasser! there is that name again. Every time I hear that name I have to put up a cross in my yard to ward off evil spirits
