These NCAA links are notoriously troublesome, but maybe you can get them to work...
They show that Bradley moved up to #52 nationally in average home attendance, and BU is
43rd in total HOME ATTENDANCE for its 2007-2008 season!!
Bradley also passed Wichita State and now is 2nd in the Valley in TOTAL home attendance.
BU ranks above at least 40 other BCS schools!!
Congrats to BU!!
And...note that many of the teams above Bradley played 19, 20, 21, and EVEN as many as 22 HOME GAMES!!
Also...had BU's average not been dropped by the lesser attended post-season games, our average (10,114 after the end of regular season)
would have gotten BU up to #46 in average!
Also congrats to Drake for cracking the Top 100, wonder how long it's been since that happened.
Here are the other Valley schools (and some others for comparison).......

The MVC Tournament was way off in attendance this year, so much so that it represented the largest drop in any conference tourney from last year.
Also Illinois Wesleyan ranks #3 among all DIII schools in home attendance.
