    Re: Up first: Northern State (exh), and MVC media day

    Just saw on Facebook that if you bring your kids to the game in costume on Sunday, there will be student athletes handing out candy to them before tip off. Trick or treating in the McLeod.
    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

      Would MVC ever ever ever consider NDSU? granted our bball arena needs to get done first. Any discussion of this at MVC media day?

        No, no, no, a thousand times no. I think the Valley is good with 10 schools. Also, schools don't get asked to leave. Who do you think would leave and create an opening? Or the MVC could go to 12, and if it is 12, what would NDSU add to the conference?

        And no SLU or Butler references. Butler loves being the big fish in the little pond. They don't need the Valley.

          How freaking huge is this if true??? something sure doesn't seem right though.

          According to http://ope.ed.gov/athletics this one tournament would cover all of our annual basketball expenses.

          even if it's $2 million total $250k isn't too shabby either.

              So this is 5x more valuable than the payout @ Syracuse who sells 30,000+ per game?

                No way it's $2M. We can barely get $750K for a BCS football game where they are selling 80K tickets at $75 a pop and the TV rights are being purchased by ESPN.

                  The $2 million figure was this year's payout. This is a brand new tourney I believe. I do not believe this figure continues into the future from what I am hearing and have read.
                  The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                    I have read a couple articles that say $2 million annually.... but they were from this summer can't find anything about 2012.

                      As mentioned above, one of the things discussed by Elgin on Tuesday was the requirement beginning in 2012-13 for all MVC teams to play in a MTE with additional financial incentives available for schools that play challenging schedules. On the MVC Report (www.mvcfans.com), I offered an alternative as I'm not sure his mandate will be all that effective in achieving the desired result. Instead, I would just give the earmarked "incentive" money to the best schools to buy better games or incentivize home-home or neutral sites games with BCS teams to help improve their NCAA resumes. I used an example of WSU playing Mizzou in KC - in UNI's case it might be playing Nebraska in Omaha. Set aside 5-10% of the NCAA payout each year and make an investment in upgrading schedules which should pay off in the long run.

                        The problem with that is correctly identifying the "top" teams each year. Plus, schools like Creighton and WSU already have extra cash in their basketball budgets that they could pull off some of these neutral courts matches if there were willing BcSers, but there aren't.

                        The best answer is still the simplest-the Valley has to win more of their non-conference games to begin with, 1-8 in the MVC-MWC challenge as an example, won't cut it. We can't always get the big boys, but we should dominate those conferences that are smaller or similar to us and separate ourselves from the 'mids'.

                          Maybe it's been spruced up since I saw it last, but from what I remember it's a dump. My high school played a tournament game there, and I saw UNI play Western Michigan there. Dark, dingy; posts everywhere restricting view of the court, and sized for hockey so that either you bring in temporary seating, or else the crowd is at a distance. Can't imagine any reason to play there when we have the McLeod & West Gym available on campus (or in pinch could move the BB floor to the Dome).

                          I remember Iowa playing an exhibition at Waterloo Columbus, but not at McElroy.

                            The Press Release is out for the two exhibition games and it list Deon and Seth as the other two starters.

                              Interesting. But then again, not surprising.

                                oh its a total dump, but thats sort of why its cool. its been awhile though, so maybe its in far too bad of shape to do anything like that anymore.
