Bradley's astounding plunge in attendance just since the housecleaning of 2011

Carver Arena has been Bradley's home since 1982
Only one season ever had an average attendance at Carver of less than 7,000 (1991-92 fell seven short and had 6,993)
NO other season even fell below 7,200 and all but 4 others were over 8,000

And if all seasons from 1982 thru 2011 are considered, then the roughly 30-year average at Carver is about 9,000.

BUT the past four seasons are

2011-12 - 7640
2012-13 - 6557
2013-14 - 6608
2014-15 - 5261 (thru 12/9)

so all four of these last four seasons are among the WORST FIVE SEASONS ever and three of them are BY FAR the three worst...
(not to mention the massive financial losses, nearly 50% drop in donations, complete bungling of the TV deals, 300 RPI, and explosion of 30-pt blowouts)
Is anyone listening?? Is anyone on the Board paying any attention at all? Or are they so stupefied by a single women's XC MVC title (first in 30 years) that they think that'll satisfy all the basketball fans for years to come?

How can the current admin run Bradley basketball so far into the ground and so far into oblivion and yet the Board has yet to bother or notice??
This did NOT need to happen. Many, many warnings were given, many clear signs of disaster ahead were obvious to just about everyone except those steering the ship over the falls, and the few brown-nosers who thought it would benefit them to parrot their disastrous spin.
If Kirk Wessler dares to mention "free fall" then please.....do NOT point towards 2007 and try haplessly to find a culprit there.
Point directly at 2011 and maybe 2010 and find out who came on board and started pushing agenda and policy that had destroyed Bradley basketball for a long time to come.


Note Bradley used to be proud of their attendance - they used to update a web page exclusively dedicated to these outstanding attendance figures...
but that's old history now - of course they no longer want to mention it!
