A typically Cdizzle post from outer space.

Outer Space. Where one has the perspective to see the big picture.

True - but everything is so far away that no real focus is possible

Focusing on that grain of sand 8 inches underground isn't helping anyone.

Does anyone know if Valpo of any other school is having a meeting like Murray State's tomorrow?

Would a private school have to announce such a meeting?

Private schools don't have to announce dick. State schools have to follow state FOI guidelines. That includes posting notices of BOR meetings. Valpo doesn't have to say a damn word until they announce it

Then prove it. Here's a list of basketball budgets for expansion candidates:

134) University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2,877,237
143) Valparaiso University 2,666,213
157) Wright State University-Main Campus 2,445,427
176) University of Illinois at Chicago 2,231,609
177) Murray State University 2,218,712
216) University of Missouri-Kansas City 1,815,762
274) South Dakota State University 1,443,001
278) North Dakota State University-Main Campus 1,417,450

That's pathetic. Their coach they have now is paid $190k and his only experience is being a former NDSU assistant. UIC has Steve McClain, former Wyoming coach and Indiana assistant, and pays him $375k. UWM has LaVall Jordan, former Butler, Iowa and Michigan assistant, and pays him $350k.

NDSU can apply later when they decide their head basketball coach is worth more than their football coordinators. Adding them now makes zero sense because every dollar of revenue the athletic department generates is diverted to football. Their greatest player is Lawrence Alexander, a kid from Peoria who all Valley schools passed on (which is in itself a crime but illustrates how flukish their modest recent success has been).

Guess he forgot the space suit because that lack of oxygen is causing a slow brain death, as evident by the strange posts.

Milwaukee spends more, has a 10,000 seat arena and appears to be committed. They may be the best overall choice.
