Yes we are doing what is best for our student athletes just as your University would very likely do the same if you were in this situation and I would not begrudge UNI for doing the same.

This whole conversation just seems a bit pointless and making a mountain out of a molehill about something. The HL offices and all the presidents have privately known we were leaving.

I'm not sure Pathfinder is a UNI fan.

Baseball is still going.
Softball just finished on Sunday.

The second Valpo publicly states their intent to move conferences the Horizon can/will pull their AQ eligibility.

Unless Murray didn't care about AQ status in those sports, they also would have delayed publicly accepting.

Called it.

Their baseball season ended at about 2PM central yesterday. That left 3 "business" hours yesterday. They announced at 9AM central today - an hour into the business day today.

Basically, the announced within 4 hours of their last potential AQ sport ending.

[sarcasm] Why July 1st? If Valpo had any integrity it would be effective May 25th! [/sarcasm]

Welcome to our former Pioneer Football Conference foe. Now if we could just convince the UE administration to renew the football rivalry.... but I digress.

Give Valpo's football program I would bet you could pull 40ish guys off your campus, give them a few months to get something together for a game plan, and you'd give them a hell of a game.
