Loyola to the A10. Huh. I thought they were having good success in the MVC. That’s a lot more travel for them. Speaking of traveling, could you imagine UT Arlington in the MVC? That would make no sense.
I hope we stay put in the Horizon. However, if we were ever going to try and bolt to a different conference, the MVC is the only one that makes sense IMO.

I realize it is the OVC, but these are the 2 teams the Horizon should have added when they had a chance. That ship has sailed... An aside- how are these 2 coaches still coaching their respective teams and not moving to a higher conference (yet)? Shoot I realize Butler family ties and all, but LaVall got the Butler HC job after taking us to a very miserable 11-24 (4-14) season mark.

I've already posted most of this on here, but my long-winded thoughts on the MVC potentially adding Murray State, UIC, UT Arlington and KC/Omaha

Missouri Valley's presidents have approved the addition of Murray State as the conference's future 11th member, sources tell CBS Sports. Murray State officials will meet Friday to formally vote on moving out of the Ohio Valley, where the program has been a member since its founding in 1948

As others have noted, if UIC goes to the Valley we and GB will be the far northwestern outposts of an eastern league. The only programs in the Central time zone; only a few years ago there were 5. An expensive, unpleasant long trip to the coldest reaches for all the other programs. Basically we will have become the new versions of the old Youngstown -- the programs every other member wants out. That wouldn't bother me if our only potential landing spaces at that point weren't the Summit, the WAC, the GLIAC or the WIAC.
Just another failure by our AD and University.

Horizon League fans!!!! Get ready for the next scintillating addition, either Bellarmine or Southern Indiana. If it is Chicago State then lets have some self respect and become an independent again. Long live Charlie Parsley and Steve Antrim!!! Oops, RIP Charlie

With apologies to Don McLean, that will be the day the music dies ... and it feels like it's coming sooner rather than later.

Who's ready for the next road trip to Youngstown and Moon Township? I didn't think so!

Long live Charlie Parsley and Steve Antrim!!! Oops, RIP Charlie What's wrong with Chicago State? Last Saturday they won a conference game - their first in three years! Seriously though, I know you are being facetious about being an independent. Non-power conference schools have enough trouble scheduling non-conference games in the non-conference season, let alone during the conference season.
