THat's why they wanted out this year. Let Murray in for football in two years so they can adjust their schedule easier--UND did that

No different than usual, except there is a light at the end of he tunnel. Lol

From a trusted source, it is Valpo. Came down to Valpo and Murray. Murray lost out on two counts, both self-inflicted. There was considerable concern that there would be a problem, come 2020, when new NCAA academic rules are instituted, that there would be a problem with Murray. They don't really have a record of recruiting a whole lot of dean's list basketball players. The other issue was that Murray State University has been emailing current SIU students, informing them that SIU is on the verge of financial collapse, and they really need to transfer to Murray (good old Murray State!). I don't think this went over real well with existing MVC schools, pretty slimy in my opinion. The source is about as close to the fire as you can get, without getting burned by the fire.

Surely there is a copy of that e-mail floating out there then.

You want to bet a grand on Murray?

I would bet a grand against the bull you just said.

Surely there is a copy, or actual record, of Murray State e-mailing SIU students if that happened...right?

Oh yeah, I just made it all up. Good luck in trying to beat Belmont this year.

I am straight up telling you, what I was told less than two hours ago, from someone high up the food chain in SIU athletics. In person. Let's just see who is announced tomorrow, eh?
