I know there is a possibility of adding more than one school, but pick your FAVORITE to join.

Western Illinois should be on the list as well....they aren't my favorite, but they're a school in the recent past that has been rumored to be interested.

I would like NKU for personal reasons... but ETSU offers more history with EKU and the OVC and I think they would really get up for the move. Plus, the his always the opportunity for football to come back there. In my perfect OVC, every school plays football and basketball and the conference is split into to 6 team divisions.

I heard a rumor that SIU Edwardsville is a done deal. If this is true it's the worst choice IMO. I'd rather stay at 9 than add another school west of Kentucky. No word on when the official announcement will be made.

No word on when the official announcement will be made. I hope you are wrong! If this is the best we could do, I agree we should have made no move. |

I agree....keep things as they are rather than bringing in more D-II schools in transition.

Now that it is a done deal... what does everyone think? And when will siuE be added to all the logos? I think it is actually a good move for one reason only. They are going to come fully armed $$$$ wise. This won't be a situation where a D2 program won't come in without any money. Think about it, they don't have fb to pay for, so they can go all out in basketball. It will enhance basketball, and they should compete in the other sports that they play. They are going to come in and be equal or better then UTM, SEMO, JSU, Morehead, and EIU. Plus the OVC needed to add another team in the West to balance out the travel. As far as the other arguments about being in STL, blah blah blah.. I really don't think that will matter all that much because SIUE doesn't get covered as it is. Like with any team small school team, you are only goign to get coverage if you win. |
