With the Atlantic 10 basketball finals on today and Loyola set to move there, I was curious who was in the A-10 and who was in the Missouri Valley when I ran across a footnote that Drake and Bradley had briefly left the Missouri Valley Conference in order to protest the conference's inaction over the "Johnny Bright incident," something I never heard of. [Wow, I wrote that as one sentence!]
Anyway, I found this to be a brief, fascinating read about an incident that affected the MVC, the NCAA and the civil rights movement. If you never heard of it, take a few minutes to educate yourself. I don't think you'll regret it.
