Having watched this conference change over the last 40+ years, this thread is hilarious. The MVC isn't headed for any 16/16 games. I would say, if history is any judge, that it is more likely that the MVC is looking at multiple invites in the future. The game has changed a lot, and mid-majors as a whole are fighting for a dwindling number of at-large bids, which makes multiple bids far less likely even with WSU in the fold. But to say that they MVC is heading for the trash heap of college basketball is just funny.
Some of you really deal better with extremes than with more realistic probabilities. Losing WSU sucks - BIG TIME - but it's not the death knell. The good Lord knows I've been really upset at the prospect of losing the Shockers, but we've been through this before...everyone just breathe...
Adding three quality programs (including Valpo in this) can, in aggregate, make up for the loss of one powerhouse. We'll get back. It'll just take a couple of years...
