Something to ponder

Major decisions up at Bradley don't just get done on a whim...and pretty much all decisions of any significant impact must be approved by Bradley's Board of Trustees.
Just do some digging and see who comprise that group...one is the father of a recent basketball player who played four years under Coach Jim Les.

The NEW Board of Trustees is headed (Chaired) by Mike McCord -- an amazingly great -- long time Bradley basketball supporter who is quite knowledgable in what's going on.
One recent past member of the Board who still carries a lot of influence around here was Coach Jim Les' BEST MAN at his wedding and the Godfather of his children and his lifelong best friend.

These are all very wise people, most are outstanding businessmen and women, and good judges of the right thing to do -- not prone to snap decisions or bad judgements.
I personally feel this group has served us very, very well.....from the founding of the University over 100 years ago through the era of Bradley Basketball, right up to now.......
I trust they will continue to lead Bradley as the GREAT institute that it is and the strong power among small, private Universities and great basketball schools with outstanding tradition.

I am also grateful for all the fine people over the years who have supported and donated to Bradley. Without all those great folks we'd probably still be playing in the Fieldhouse -- not to downplay how much I loved the Fieldhouse!!
Thanks to the strong and capable staff and leaders we have there, as well. They know how much the fans of Bradley love their team and players.

Go Braves -- make some real noise in the Missouri Valley Tournament!
We'll be there to support you!
