Bradley International Trips

[mrswiss21]

When was Bradley's last international trip? I thought they went to europe in 2018 or 2019 but could be wrong? Seems like they haven't been anywhere abroad in a while.

It does seem like it has been a while. I think there is value in building relationships between team members but….. there is significant cost-there is a limited pile of money and $ on a trip probably come out of compensation for players. Is it worth it vs being able to pay players more ? Also the reality seems to be quite a bit of player turnover from one year to another and you certainly can’t afford to do it every year and each year you need to build relationships between a new group. Can you do that in Peoria well enough ?

I think teams are allowed to go every 4years

The rule changed in April of this year. Teams can now take a trip every year if they want to do so.

The costs outweigh the benefits.
