It's probably no coincidence also that they voted in a 5% tuition increase in the same meeting. Students will love that.
I believe that there may not have been an official offer made but there had to be at least some type of talk between the MVC and our AD. Our local reporter here has had a valley watch hashtag on his twitter (@akajeffbidwell if you feel like looking, he also has a very good daily sports talk show on 99.5 The Fan website) for a week I believe and everyday would say the same thing that "AD Ward says no invite has been offered". But why would the MVC present an official offer until we knew we could really exit first? So my fingers are crossed that we are in the finalization stage of this process and as we have been told it took 40 days to add Loyola and we are only at 15 right now.
I'm just relieved that our BOR see potential in the move and we have a President that is a real pusher for athletics as well as academics.
