Agreed, but somehow I don't see the four current MVC schools in Illinois or the two current Indiana schools being too crazy about letting those guys in. These expansions have been all about expanding a conference's footprint, which pretty much brings it down to us, Wright State and Youngstown State.
Well, Wright State would be a good pick. Their facilities are pretty good for our level. Their attendance is high but a source of mine at the League office tells me they put in a considerable cushion every year.
Butler, Xavier and Creighton are all Big East bound. I'm honestly surprised they invited Creighton this go-round... I thought they'd at least wait until next year to decide if they wanted Creighton, Saint Louis, Dayton, all, or none.
All I know is, Milwaukee needs to put some shovels in dirt. Now.
Yesterday. We've had 25 years to get it right and we haven't yet.
