VCU?


Milwaukee. A Sweet 16 is a Sweet 16, and Loyola was a pin cushion in the Horizon League. Saying we'd be bad for the MVC because another city school in Loyola is bad for the MVC is like saying Valpo would be bad because they're a small town private school in Indiana and the last time the MVC added one of those they regretted it.

Dumbass logic.

Milwaukee has been irrelevant since Pearl.

My point is that yes mid-majors in big cities can surprise here and there, but is hard to sustain success.

Let's just get this decision over with please. The posturing by the Milwaukee, NDSU, Valpo, and Murray fans selling a message board as to why they should be included (like we have any say in the matter) is getting old.

Apparently, its over. Valparaiso the only invite according to WMBD out of Peoria. What a major disappointment.

bummer. Would of liked to of seen both. Valpo is a good add if it is coupled with another solid add. Valpo alone doesn't do much for us. I'm guessing the football issue was the deciding factor in leaving Murray out.

This move proves the Valley has no vision and no leadership. It explains perfectly why Creighton and Wichita left. Question now is, who's next to go?
