    Bradley is losing another key member of the Athletic Dept.

    Yes, he will be missed. He would always engage with others at Bradley events and local events.

    Missouri Valley Conference announces change to Arch Madness

    It is always about money. Conventions, meetings, Cardinal's baseball, Blues hockey bring significant revenue to the city. Our Civic Center in Peoria is partially financed with significant money from Peoria restaurants, bars and hotels. Out of town fans tend to spend more than local fans.

    Missouri Valley Conference announces change to Arch Madness

    Yes, you are right. Fans of the number 1 and 2 teams will not show up until Saturday. The tournament will make less money, and this will not be beneficial to the hotels and restaurants in St Louis.

    How good will we really be in 26-27????

    There are too many variables to predict the end results of MVC teams for next season. Last year most people thought that Murray State, Belmont and ISU red would be the top contenders. I think Wardle did well finishing second during the conference season before the tournament. But UIC and...

    MVC Coach Salaries

    If you use Guidestar.org you can look it up. Wait until July. I believe it’s over 900,000 with total compensation

    Bradley announces Tom Hammerton as the new General Manager of Basketball

    I am assuming that "being able to attract" is obtaining money to procure talented players. That means connecting with donors who give to the players.

    Good news - Bradley University's incoming Freshman Enrollment

    Yes, I agree that many of the decisions of the city leaders are stupid, not in the long term interests of the citizens. But, nothing in comparison to the last Mayor Daily of Chicago that sold the parking meters to foreign investors for 1.2 billion and promptly raised all metered parking on all...

    Good news - Bradley University's incoming Freshman Enrollment

    Civic Center is managed by Madison Square Garden. All restaurant patrons in the city pay 2% tax on purchases to support the civic center. Also, a hotel tax. East Peoria pays nothing, but benefits greatly in the Levy District. Bradley receives no money from parking or concessions.

    Anyone recall Bradley great Donald Powell

    Great player, number 24. Need to acknowledge his passing at timeout at a future game.

    Early 2027 projection

    I agree. Other than predicting that ISU red should finish first, no one knows how new players to teams will play successfully. It is a crapshoot. I respect how U of Illinois Chicago advanced in development as the season went on

    Bradley players due on campus for summer

    I’m not sure about Bradley athletes, but at most schools they take classes online, remote and don’t engage with regular students.

    Bradley's 2026-27 schedule

    After visiting St Thomas when Bradley played a few years ago, I would never visit this island again. On the return flight, all planes have to stop to refuel at Puerto Rico because the runway is too short for the plane to take off with full tanks. When we arrived, it was a nightmare getting our...

    BU lands Josh Ibukunoluwa

    I am feeling more optimistic for Bradley's upcoming season. A few weeks ago, I did not see a pathway for reloading our team after several players entered the portal. I think Wardle has done a good job in these recruits, but we do not know how things will play out. I still believe ISU red has...

    Bradley lands another portal transfer- Kyle Grill- 6'6' junior wing

    Like Dennis Rodman.

    Bradley gets commitment from Bulgarian point guard Georgi Gerganov

    When Tony Kukoc came to the Bulls in 1993, he received little respect from his teammates for some time. He was one of the first European players to play in the NBA. It seems that most, if not all NBA teams now have players from Europe. I believe that their development system encourages...
