Murray State did not get a HL invite... (they are not leaving the OVC for the HL, regardless)

It was a fake twitter account. It appears that the tweet was deleted. I'm sure the HL would want them but Murray State doesn't want to go to the HL (especially without Valpo there anymore).

I think Murray State would be a good 12th if the MVC could convince Belmont to join along with them, but Belmont's AD/Pres don't want to compete in a tougher league. Maybe they will change their mind. They should want to come with Murray State to help build a multi-bid league with the rest of MVC teams.

It has been confirmed that IUPUI received the invite. Yeesh.

Guys, you gotta get over Belmont. They're tapped out. They have no desire to move up. None. Look elsewhere.

I apologize if my info was wrong but my source was involved in the discussions. This surprises me because if Milwaukee bolts the HL is down to 5 baseball schools. Maybe IUPUI is bringing baseball back.

You can only say what your sources are telling you. We are all like that.

Bring on the M&M. Murray State and Marquette...!

Agreed! Honestly appreciate you sharing.

IUPUI caught me and pretty much everyone completely off guard. Does not seem to be popular among Horizon League fans. Not seeing a lot of positive feedback.

IUPUI was indeed a surprise, we'll see if they join in 2017 or 2018.

No baseball, but club baseball is a sport there, so do they move it do D-I status?

And does IPFW come along in 2018? Along with NMSU and Grand Canyon?

The Summit and WAC might be shrinking

This whole Murray State to the Horizon reminded me of the "Secret Envelope" from the Missouri State to Sunbelt days gone by

hope horizon takes IUPUI and IPFW... and the summit implodes.

then NDSU admin will actually get the balls to go FBS and pursue the Mountain West since the MVC is obviously a bus league now.

I don't think it'll happen, but I hope NDSU/NMSU get added to the Mountain West. It's just right.

Maybe the money saved by using buses is the reason why our coaches aren't leaving for Ohio and Wright State.

Was the source Paul Oron?
