Unprecedented

The massive housecleaning at Bradley is truly unprecedented - not only in DI sports but in sports anywhere.  The President, the Vice President/Provost, the AD, the head coach and just about all the team were sent packing.  Not even where massive scandal led to housecleanings (Bruce Pearl, Dave Bliss, etc..) has this kind of exodus occurred.

And to set the record straight - the nearly dozen players who left were by no means all leaving on their own!  Maybe that could be said of Nate Wells, but more than a few others were ushered out the door.

And where almost everyone who left in 2011 with that housecleaning instantly got s pot elsewhere that was equal or better - this time around - many still haven't found anywhere who wants them and the few who do stepped way, way down.

Gotta wonder if any of the higher-ups - the Prez, AD, coach - if they even apply elsewhere, someone's gonna want to see their resume or talk to their former employer.  But I doubt they'd even have to as I have heard from friends that currently work at other universities that the story of what unfolded here at Bradley is already pretty widely known.  The story of how mismanagement, micro-management, upper-level meddling, and horribly bad self-centered decisions completely deastroyed Bradley's athletics, but even nearly brought down the entire university with a financial disaster that was also unprecedented.

Thankfully that's a nearly closed chapter except for the fallout we're still suffering, but now we're well on the way towards the bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks again to the great fans who helped engineer these massive changes by literally OVERRIDING the few incompetent Board members who had hijacked sensibility and made the bad decisions for the past 6-7 years that have hurt Bradley so much.
Seriously if a guy strikes out all the time but also makes an error on every single play - then turns around and blames everyone else - he has to go.
