Correcting the errors again

A couple more major inaccuracies in the newspaper...

claim that it was Ken Kavanagh that phased out the BUI Spaghetti Supper at the Itoo Hall.
This one is false and has been totally debunked but continues to get stated in a weak effort to shore up the legacy of Dr. Cross who indeed was the one who made this unpopular move.

The Itoo Supper was the mainstay of the fall Bradley schedule - and was held every year up thru 2009.
In 2007 it was held at Haussler & the Fieldhouse to celebrate the end of an era - as the Fieldhouse was being torn down.

The final Itoo Supper was held ion October of 2009 only months before Dr. Cross got to Bradley and he made it known he was ending the event - so please, stop the effort to blame all the bad & unpopular moves on the people who served Bradley well.

Then the effort to blame all the "red ink" - a fancy way of saying the horrible financial losses - on the people who were here before Cross or Glasser.
I call BS on this one since right up thru 2010 Bradley was still drawing almost 10,000 fans and was still hitting record revenue and donation goals...
In fact, 80% of the money to build the Renaissance project were already in the coffers thanks to those people who were here before Glasser & Cross.
Nope, the major financial mess that we are still suffering through is 100% the responsibility of Dr. Glasser & Dr. Cross.  Dr. Glasser began the firings of the basketball staff in 2010 forcing out Buescher & Brooks.  The increase in losses really didn't hit 'til 2010 and later - again just a failed effort to shift blame.

I count on Chris Reynolds to get this mess fixed - it's obvious he's well on the way to getting it done, and I appreciate a nice article about him but feel compelled to correct those errors.
