The new Associate Athletics Director for Championship Performance at Ivy League Columbia University is an ex-Bradley basketball player....

Here's his bio .....Dr. Brent Walker
http://www.gocolumbialions.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9600&ATCLID=205562240

in his bio he claims this...

"Dr. (Brent) Walker earned his ...bachelor's degree in psychology in 1994 from Bradley University,
where he was a two-sport athlete in basketball and baseball."

And....sure enough ..his name was pretty obscure when I saw it but I looked it up and indeed he played basketball for Bradley University in 1991-1992 as a walk-on in the early Molinari era....
he was a walk-on in 1991-1992 and played in 5 games.. got a rebound and an assist but never scored a point

Congrats to Dr. Walker - -- keep in mind we have an AD who came from an Ivy League school!!
He is originally from East Peoria, IL, got his undergraduate degree at BU, his Masters at UNC, and his Doctorate in Kinesiology at U of I.
 
As someone who has known Dr. Walker since we were 10 and played baseball with him at BU, I'd say his baseball career was probably more significant than his basketball career at BU.

In fact, I believe he is the last BU pitcher to throw a No-hitter.

Congrats Brent! Now if you could take your own expertise and apply it to your own golf game.....
