If you think Drake would be better off with a conference that includes the likes of Milwaukee, Valpo and Detroit why not simply join the Horizon League?

Also pretty astonishing to see the privates spend that much more than the publics yet the publics have run the conference for damn near two decades

Detroit is (or should be) a non-starter, considering most were unsatisfied with Loyola.

Creighton disagrees. They ran the conference and lured your coach.

I think this gets thrown around a little too often. Creighton had as many conference titles in their last 22 years in the league as WSU has in the last 4 years.

Bradley had the money and influence to be a major voice in the league until, in their arrogance, they lost their way and traded in a basketball coach for a stock broker.

I agree, and there is no question WSU has achieved far greater success than Creighton ever has. My point was it was silly to act like a private hasn't had a run in the last 20 years.

Like I said previously, you guys have outgrown the conference, and it's funny watching some of the remaining dwarfs scream that their midget hands are bigger than the others.

Especially now without Creighton in the Valley. The last 4 years since the Bluejays departed have been dominated by the Public's with at least 4 out of 5 of the tops teams in the MVC standings every season!

That's a heck of a plan by Rassmussen. "Greg, go to Iowa State for four years of mediocrity. By then, Altman may take a power-5 job and not turn around and come back the next day. If that happens, we'll need you waiting in the wings."

:? :huh:

Seeing these numbers completely frustrates me as an Aces fan. We did absolutely less with more in 2015-16 and this further proves it.

Those numbers are from the 2015-16 year, not the most recent season completed. So it was the DJ Balentine/ Edgijius/ Adam Wing/ Brzoja (who would have started for 9 other MVC teams) team that lost in St. Louis on Washpun's jumper.

Something to note - that was the year the team traveled to Los Angeles for the Wooden tournament. That was an amount that was much higher than usual. They usually budget that on a 2 year cycle, so this year the team went Nashville to save some $$.

The biggest pain is that the numbers also include the 4 "Purchased" home games with MEAC and SWAC teams. That was such a poor use of funds for scheduling purposes.

One other thing: the privates do not have to make salary data public. However, thanks to my friend Google, you can pull up non-profit organization tax returns and see their top 5 highest paid employees. Not necessarily apples-to-apples, but here are the numbers for the 2014-15 school years (the last year data is currently available.)

From the tax returns:
UE - Marty Simmons $245,293 in salary with $55,539 other reportable compensation
Bradley - Geno Ford $706,655 + $26,243
Drake - Giacolleti - $381,774 + $38,613
