Arch Madness no more?

Re: Arch Madness no more?

Did Tigges actually use the term "historic"? He does't seem to be a "thrill up his leg" style journalist. If he did, what exactly was historic? More gauranteed revenue for the league, etc?

Tigges reported what he heard, which was stated as a "historic announcement". His response on twitter was as such:

@CarsonTigges: This "historic announcement" from the MVC has been made before.

And...

@CarsonTigges: I guess you could say I "made history" by having Raisin Bran for breakfast this morning. Just feeling a little let down is all.

I think he represents the feelings of most MVC fans. We're not really upset or angry with the decision as much as we are underwhelmed and confused.

Answer: The Press Release sent out from the Valley to announce today's press conference called it historic.
"The Missouri Valley Conference will conduct a press conference at 2 p.m. CT on Wednesday, July 9, Salons A-B in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark Hotel in downtown St. Louis. Commissioner Doug Elgin will have an historic announcement regarding the future of the Missouri Valley Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament."

And, as everyone originally anticipated... more of the same.
