Re: New Valley Team (to replace Crayton)

I am hoping for Belmont this year, then in 2 or 3 years when the A10 is imploding we pick up Saint Louis and another A10 school.

I think this is why we will see one (at most) addition this year. It's wait and see if the New Big East grabs St. Louis and Dayton. Something tells me they are going to get greedy and not want to share the TV money any more than they already have. Then, the MVC has to take a run at getting both to get to 12.

East: Belmont, Bradley, Dayton, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State

West: Drake, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Saint Louis, Southern Illinois, Wichita State.

That would make a damn good conference, worthy of better TV package.

this is a FABULOUS idea and I hope this is what the MVC brass are thinking as well. Take 1 now and wait to see what happens with the A-10

I agree on this as well - that would be an outstanding conference to follow and be a part of.

Better yet we could name the divisions something cool like the Legends and Leaders divisions!

Or the Oscar Robertson Division and the Larry Bird Division.

Or the Jackie division and the Jacqui division why does it have to be about Men's basketball.

Stiles, State, Stiles the only women's player who can truly claim to be a better valley player than Jacqui

Might be a silly question - but is anybody cheering for Creighton to do well in the tournament so they bring more money in to be shared by the remaining teams or do you not care about the money and are just hoping they fall on their face...which at the current momement (only up 1 with 15 mins left) is a big possibility

yes and yes

Re: New Valley Team (to replace Crayton)

Both of these teams have looked terrible on offense these last few minutes. They both deserve to lose the way this half has gone

Re: New Valley Team (to replace Crayton)

I hate CU but will root for them over Cinci or any other non-conference team all day long. Unfortunately, they are trying to screw me again!

Re: New Valley Team (to replace Crayton)

Crazy thought here... what about Western Kentucky? The Hilltoppers have certainly had some great success and seem like the type of team that wouldn't mind an upgrade in opponents. Would the MVC welcome them?
