Illinois-Chicago to MVC

[gman2]

Yep. That article mentions nothing about basketball. The football games are the only thing that matters clearly.

I mean, who would ever pay $3mil a year to a School that doesn't have football??

As I clearly stated, basketball plays a part no doubt, as is mentioned in the article. Where did I ever say basketball wasn't mentioned or doesn't matter.

But it is clear that football is driving the TV deal. Do you think the MWC helped negotiate the exit of, and assist in paying the exit fee for, BSU to leave the Big East for their basketball program? The MWC helped BSU's exit the Big East for their FOOTBALL, repeat, FOOTBALL program.

I actually envy UIC for getting this attention. I live in Milwaukee (sorry not in my mom's basement with 45 email addresses) graduated from UWM and support Milwaukee Panther athletics. Our athletics presence is an embarrassment. We can't hire a decent AD, our men's basketball program is quickly becoming irrelevant, we have an overrated Men's basketball coach, the mens basketball team moved from a decent downtown arena to a glorified on campus high school gym. we have the worst baseball facility in Division 1 baseball. And it is not getting better anytime soon.

And by the way, GO SHOCKERS, I hope you kick Cardinal a$$!!!
