    Yeah... they've had a tough go of it. Don't blame them.

    If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.

    They really should be in a conference with Eastern Illinois anyway.

    Doesn't hurt the MVFC much - tougher deal for the SL. Back to an odd number of teams in both the Summit and MVFC though meaning more late season bye weeks in football and no travel partners in basketball.

    Why is this move worth a $1 million buyout by Western?

    If you put any thought to this you’ll realize that the 1 million is Westerns leverage over the OVC, and they likely got help with that payment.

    Murray gets assurances from MVC wing of MVFC they'll have FB home.
    Murray to MVC/MVFC.
    OVC has hole.
