[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1735228, member: 4851"] 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. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Bright_incident[/URL] [/QUOTE]
