I don't have all of the answers, and someone correct me if wrong, but here are a few for starters:

how many bills have made it to the NBA -- (15) Anthony Bonner, David Burns, Bob Ferry, Larry Hughes, Robin Jones, Ed Macauley, Eugene Moore, Rich Niemann, Bob Nordmann, Barry Orms, Rich Parks, Melvin Robinson, Harry Rogers, Marv Schatzman and D.C. Wilcutt. If you include the old ABA, you can add Don Dee. Many others have been drafted but these, according to slu media guide, are the ones who have played.

Where can I get the graduation rate of the team

How many ncaa appearences has the team had -- 7 total years. 10 games, 3-7.

how long has there been an athletic director

who do you think have been the most succesful bills coaches

whose #s have been retired

when was blue crew founded

4 Billikens have their #s retired

Ed Macauley, Dick Boushka, Bob Ferry, and Anthony Bonner

There are probably over 20 Billikens who have been on NBA/ABA rosters but not all of them played in a game.I believe adman's previous list is accurate for Billikens who played in games, save for Melvin Robinson who never appeared in an NBA game but was on the roster of the T-Wolves for a season.

Blue Crew was not founded in 2001. I was a member in 1994. There is a picture of us hanging in Humphrey's on the wall across from the bar when you first walk in(on the left). It has a brown frame. It may have died out after I left school and started back up in 2001, but it was around when I was there.

During the spoon years at the arena there was a student booster club. A couple of them wore gorilla suits to the games. After Spoon's clubs starting tanking they stopped coming.

a strong Blue-Crew presence at the beginning of the 95-96 season as I was a freshman and member. We likely had 100+ members that season until the leadership sort of fell apart near the end of the season. They had something the next year but that was a bad season and by the end of the season it was literally me and 3 others that wore our stuff to the game...but it got us first row seats so we didn't mind. It may have been revived in Hughes' year but died soon after.

Much credit should be given to the Blue Crew leadership for the revival of the program a few years later.
