If I were the 5 public schools, I'd take a hard look at making the MVCFC a new basketball league plus adding a couple basketball (maybe football) schools like Murray State/Belmont/Omaha/UMKC. They'd still be the walking dog in FCS football and improve there basketball.

This is such a Valley move. Valpo's had a successful team, but it's probably a coin flip on whether they maintain it or become another Evansville for 20+ years. The Valley's only real chance here was to make a bold move that committed to winning, by bringing in several teams and hoping at least one of them took off. And, of course, they chose complacency, public/private balance, and hoarding the NCAA shares we gifted them.Originally posted by BleacherReportFred VanVleet on Shockers' 3-Pt Shooting Confidence -- ' Honestly, I just tell these guys to let their nuts hang.'

All you need to know about the state of the MVC: so far this decade, Creighton and WSU, the league's two highest profile members, with the biggest athletic spending, have left and been replaced by Loyola-Chicago and Valpo. That is not a recipe for advancement.
The league's new slogan: Horizon II, here we come!

This is a really underwhelming way to announce a change in league membership, both from the MVC and from Valpo. It's as if they didn't have everything worked out before they announced they were inviting Valpo.
WSU joining the American was handled differently. WSU and The American couldn't stop talking about how great the other party in the realignment was. This was "we invited them - no further comment" followed by "yes, they invited us - no further comment". Not exactly a rousing or warm couple of announcements.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.
