Murray State to be added to Missouri Valley Football Conference

[HerdBot]

Do they have plans to actually win?
How embarrassing for NDSU to be associated with a conference that just thought Murray St. would be a solid edition to the league. They haven't made an FCS playoff in 20 years and they are in the OHIO FUCKING VALLEY conference. If you can't win there, then holy shit, get ready for some absolute shit shows in the MVFC.

They lost to Austin Peay every year for the last 5 years..there has to be a punchline in there somewhere?

Probably not. I was just trying to find something positive but here's my valient attempt

1) Decent brand. Some casual fans may recognize their name in Basketball and think they are good in football and a big time school for our conference

2) New market. Not a big one but they have fans... in basketball. Not that we recruit Kentucky

3) Attendance. Last year they drew
6k, 9k, 10k, 6500, 6300
Which is better than Indiana State

4) Their stadium looks OK on TV if you only show 1 side and don't show the empty parts

5) Is Kentucky warm in the late season?

Can we get into the big sky or would Montana cry again

Could there be a merger plan for Summit Conf., MVFC teams and the MVC? This would get us better basketball tv money??

Oh joy..."MSU has eight Ohio Valley conference titles to its credit, the most recent coming in 2002."

What a great fit for the supposed best conference in FCS. A team that cannot wing a conference title in a crap division in 20 years. If NDSU voted to allow them in, then the whole school's direction needs to be seriously reviewed.

This add is as bad as thinking Auggie in the Summit is a good idea.

This must mean that the MVFC knows NDSU and SDSU are leaving and they are trying to please the more southern located schools like ISU Blue and Missouri State.

What’s this compare to? FIU getting into the SEC?

No, FIU would at least be in the same territory. I would say more like New Mexico State joining the SEC.

FIU is located in international waters bro it’s in the name

Don't get the comments this was purely a basketball move that helps the MVC.

This will help to inflate overall records making it easier to get an at large bid. Think Big Sky with a bunch of bad teams they also ended up with 3 seeds last year.
