Bradley cuts off beat writer Dave Reynolds

Apparently he wasn't doing enough to promote their brand...

Commentary: BU disgraces itself, telling longtime PJS beat writer 'You don't promote the Bradley brand'

 

Damn good column. Hammer those idiots hard.

 

Bradley is getting shredded on Twitter.

 

I've been a fan of Dave Eminian's work for a long time, but he shoots absolute fire here.

 

I just don’t get what Bradley thought it was going to accomplish here. Even if you thought that the beat writer was a jerk, why are you punishing your fans who are subscribers to his newspaper? If this is on the coach or AD, shame on them for being so thin-skinned. If this is on the SID, shame on them for not knowing that these battles are rarely won by the entity pulling the access (and not being self-aware enough to know that a school like Bradley isn’t important enough to record one of those rare wins).

 

Why pick a fight with the only newspaper on earth that gives a shit about Bradley basketball? The athletic department must be VERY confident there's no element of sports at the school that isn't purer than Ivory soap.

 

I think I saw this on Twitter: a recommendation for the media at the tournament site to walk up and out of the interview area when Bradley's coach appears for his 20 minutes. I'd be so up for this.

 

Dave even went as far as to travel to their game at Georgia Southern earlier this season. Who else would care enough to do that for a borderline mid-major?

 

As soon as the story spread the University had no other option.

 

What the fuck is the Bradley brand?
Blow all of this sky-high already.
The NCAA edifice is rotten through.

 

They have no brand.

That line was a dumbass thing that fell out of a Bradley flunkie’s mouth. He’s probably just another overzealous SID who’s trying too hard to suck up to the latest basketball coach in the building.
