MVC tourney announcement

[AndShock]

I demand a recount on the Vegas "date conflicts." No way every facility is taken. If they actually are, find a hotel ballroom to stick it in Battle 4 Atlantis style.

Historic, for sure.

This should have been no big surprise to anyone. St. Louis provides the best oppotunity for the tourney to succeed geographically speaking. Does it benefit the premier program in the conference, no. However, moving further away from the Illinois and Indiana schools would not be a positive for the tournament in my opinion. I don't particularly care for the 7 hour drive either but the conference knows that I and many, many Shocker fans will make the trek. I look at is as an opportunity for us to continue to show why we are considered one of the best fan bases in the country.

Only one way to fix that. No sense in continuing to reward them.

[Shock Top]

Maybe they kept it in STL, know WSU will be out-the-door soon.

Just trying to keep hope alive!

While it's true that it's better for the league geographically, why cater to the rest of the league when they rarely show much interest in attending? I guess that they can keep it there and hold out hope that a team gets hot and it's fans actually decide to attend. That's usually a pretty terrible way to go through life though.

Got a chuckle out of this one

Hopefully the MVC's new deal with Scottrade will include working shot clocks

how about his other tweet:

"In other future tourney news, the MVC announced that basketballs will have air a goals will be 10 feet off the ground"

I will be laughing my ass off next year when their attendance nosedives. The only reason that it didn't fall off this year was because all of the random people that showed up to see the undefeated team helped to soften the blow of losing Creighton's fanbase. For as much as I'd love to see it, that's not gonna happen two years in a row.

Another reason to hightail ourselves out of the MVC, so Bush league (no pun intended)

Seriously??? A couple of deep post seasons and you think you're too good for the league? You believe the MVC owes you a closer venue come conference tourney time because of a few successful seasons? LMFAO! How old are you, 13? And where exactly does WSU fit in if not the MVC? What conference's knees should be trembling at your arrival? Not to take anything away from the recent success of the program, but you act as if WSU has been in the ranks of high mid-major programs for ages and that they're entitled something better. Please! Time to deflate that head of yours....

It seems like you're unfamiliar with the myriad of reasons why we have been unhappy with this league for a very long time. It has far more to do with the neglectful attitude of the other schools towards their athletic programs and the everybody gets a prize attitude of the league than our recent success.

Where to begin.... So many options.

don't be comin on here getting reasonable.......

[RoyalShock]

The only thing I think we can reasonably deduce from this "announcement", is that the other presumably interested parties don't want the tournament very badly, at least, not more than STL, and not enough to warrant a move.
