Weird story out of Peoria

[01grad]

Apparently the Holier than thou attitude of Bradley isn’t limited to just their fans towards us for joining the MVC. It also exists towards...the local media who covers them? Yikes, at the highest point your program has had in over a decade you decide to burn bridges with the only media outlet who wants to cover you regularly. Good luck with that next year when you’re being ignored again by everyone except the people you’re shutting out this week.

Bradley is now trending nationally on Twitter, and not in a good way. Boy, making sure that “Bradley brand” is promoted is sure working out well.

They are getting eviscerated on Twitter. National pundits discussing as well (Parrish, Goodman, etc.).

Way to go, Bradley. Had an opportunity to get your name out there, tell your story, etc. Instead, you'll be the most hated 15 seed of all time.

Pretty much every Chicago tribune writer and radio host is ripping them right now; as Illinois only team in the tourney they blew their their good will with big time coverage for the time being. They also set themselves up for way more pointed questions at media days from journalists everywhere.

Ridiculously stupid.

I looked at their message board last night.... every post was in favor of Bradley and Wardle screwing over their longtime beat writer from the only daily paper in town and making a power play to get a lackey in the job to write puff pieces.

Saw this in a thread. Could just be idle chatter from some random kook on Twitter but still.

Go, I know you've been kicked out of many locker rooms over the years, but have you ever been kicked out for not promoting a brand?
