Re: If they want 12 but only sure on 11?

Any talk of a 12th beyond Valpo and Murray State, that doesn't include Belmont, should stop with be from UT-A, UALR, Oakland, or Wright State from your list.MissouriValleyUnite wrote:SMUfan wrote:Just for discussion sake.
Say the MVC takes Valpo and Murray State. Belmont turns the MVC down. But the league wants 12.
Who would be the non talked about selection?
How about UALR?
How about Wright State?
How about NKU?
etc.................
First, I hope the MVC adds Murray and Valpo. Those are the two non-negotaible adds IMO. I'd prefer to stay at 11.
But if 12 is a must, I'd be fine with Arlington, Little Rock, Oral Roberts, UIC, Wright St, NDSU, SDSU, Oakland, or Northern Kentucky. I vehemently oppose Milwaukee and Omaha. Ditto UMKC, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in driving several hours to see that arena.
But any expansion to 12 that excludes either Murray or Valpo is a failure to me. Include them both, and I could bite the bullet on the 12th as long as it isn't Omaha.
