Murray State convening special session with Board of Regents on Friday 4/21/17. ???????

Preface-

I have no inside information. Zero. None.

But, having spoken to some people, there is a topic on the agenda labeled "intercollegiate athletics". Tifwiw

This would be a decent get. The league could (and recently has) done worse.

Let me throw a wrench in here: what if the Board of Regents meeting about "intercollegiate sports" is to accept an invite from EITHER the MVC or the Horizon League, since the HL was in talks with prospective members as well?

I believe all MVC schools except for Drake and UNI would be closer to Murray than all Horizon League schools except Northern Ky.

Check the Indy State distance as if Evansville is 101 Indy State likely 210

our local media will be covering the meeting (there will also be a live feed, though I don't know the link). If you are on twitter, follow @akajeffbidwell or @dreammarlowe85 or even me, though I will be second hand sharing, @RacerJoeD

Thanks Racer
