Only one team in the MVC has any NCAA wins in the last 9 seasons - it has football
Of the S16s that belong to the MVC over the last 15 years to teams currently in the MVC 2 of the 3 belong to football schools.
100% of the conference titles (regular season and conference tournament) over the last 10 years that remain in the conference belong to schools with football
The last time a true non-football did anything was 2006/2007.
Maybe Bradley and Evansville can take some of that $3 million they are spending on basketball and actually win a couple f__king games, or titles.
I can find the numbers I posted, but the last time a non-football/private school still in the valley finished in the top half of the all sports trophy standings was over a decade ago. The 4 private schools (excluding Valpo who just joined) finished outside of the bottom 4 was so long ago I couldn't pull numbers to calculate it anymore. The MVC didn't have standings that far back.
Maybe non-football/private schools should actually do something to "put us in our place".
Also funny to see an ISUr fan bashing FCS football - a sport which they spend more than anyone in except maybe Illinois State of the MVC schools.

He's had two opportunities to expand to 12 and didn't do it. He seems to prefer adding programs that are a reasonably comfortable bus ride from the existing membership.

At least with NDSU and SDSU they are both usually ranked in the top 10 for football and I have no doubt that their basketball teams would be able to compete in the MVC.
And NDSU and SDSU are actually within driving distance for teams like UNI and Drake. SFA isn't within driving distance for anyone. Neither is GCU and NMSU.
