Here's what I don't get about the "potential" argument for Omaha. Do people think they're potentially a Final Four team? Because if someone's thinking "this could be a team that can get to the Sweet 16," then that's a nice discussion about potential. It's also not about potential here, because we've actually done it. Especially with how awful their MBB budget is currently. We make fun of GB's budget and Omaha's is like $500k less! Some schools can pick up the slack. Omaha has a 2 million dollar budget deficit due to this new arena, so unless they jack up student fees a ton there's no way they'll be able to get it done. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using proboards |

So his source confirms they are likely, but isn't really sure, and the situation is fluid and it could change at any moment. Great reporting.

By Mark Adams A source close to the negotiations between the Missouri Valley Conference and potential new members has confirmed that MVC officials are visiting multiple campuses this week, The Murray State Racers from the OVC are the probable top choice to replace Wichita State who left the MVC for the American Athletic Conference earlier this month.*cough* |

Going only to 10 would be the only surprise. We were never in consideration for 10.

I'd say the private school over the public (Murray, not us) would be a surprise too

It'd seem weird that in the 1st half of the first day, things would be all but finalized. EDIT: Also, coaches don't determine realignment too. |

I suspect Mark Adams may have been talking out of his @$$ a bit for some twitter likes.
