Bradley scheduling into the horizen

[CLBravesfan]

The reason for wanting to play in Chicago is two fold:

1: Exposure to the Chicago Market and potential recruits

2: To give any alumni who can't get down to Peoria a chance to see their alma mater play.

Alumni are the biggest reason of the two, school needs donations from their alums.

JL must have something up his sleeve if he scheduled 4 road games against Horizen league teams. Ie leaving the MVC and getting into a more competitive league. On paper the MVC is better, but, the HL has better venues and more exposure, which helps recruting. What we need to look for is next year, if JL continues the pattern we'll in the HL.

Yeah, the Nutter, Gentile, and UIC Pavillion are fantastic venues with great fan support.

This is just a rumor but...............................

I hear the REAL reason BU is considering playing in the Great Alaska Shootout is that President Glasser loves Alaska and the cold weather and is considering moving the WHOLE school to Alaska

While I was at the game last night I talked to a Butler fan about the small (under 5,000 official) crowd. I then said is it because of the holiday break for students. He said there might be a few hundred more students but that is about it. I think it is sad that a team that has played as well as Butler has the last few years that they can't get support. If Bradley was 10-1 ranked in the top 20 tickets would be hard to come by. The other thing I noticed is Butler fans only got up and into the game after Bradley fans out yelled them. Lots of red in the crowd.
