Valpo and the Conference Musical Chairs

[Cletus]

I was wondering, with Creighton looking as if they are about to make the jump to the Big East, if anyone here has heard anything about the MVC's plan to backfill that spot. This isn't new news so I'm sure they have been working on a contingency plan and I wonder if Valppo's name has come up at all.

I'm not a Valpo guy (I'm a Georgetown alumn and rabid fan who married into a Valpo family though I've really grown to like your team and school a lot) so I don't know the history you have with the MVC schools and if it would be a good fit.  But, if it is and if they are interested in having Valpo, I feel like it would be a nice step up from the Horizon League and a place that Valpo and Drew could enjoy a lot of success.   Assuming for a moment that this is realistic, what do you guys think?

Welcome Cletus.  Check the On The Horizon sub-board under the string National Conference Realignments.  Lots there on the subject.

Got it, thanks. Don't know how I missed that.


Good luck to you guys the rest of the season. I'm very much looking forward to Valpo in the tournament this year though I'm dreading the idea of a GU/Valpo matchup. Thankfully, it looks like the Hoyas are playing themselves into a high enough seed that it's not likely to happen.
