Michael Bradley has volunteered to give up his scholarship and apply for financial aid, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com's Andy Katz. The 6-10 Bradley would play as a walk-on.

The Huskies are coming off a national-championship season in which they finished 32-9. They won the Big East tournament in New York as well, and defeated Butler 53-41 in Houston to win the NCAA tournament.
