Harry Schroeder, who covers MVC and OVC sport, tweeted 2 hours ago that he has just spoke to OVC Commissioner Beth DeBauche that news breaking in the OVC. I will try to look at the OVC site tomorrow.
My guess is adding a team, but there's a few other things it could be. Bad news wouldn't have been worded that way probably.screamingeaglepride wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 6:53 pm Harry Schroeder, who covers MVC and OVC sport, tweeted 2 hours ago that he has just spoke to OVC Commissioner Beth DeBauche that news breaking in the OVC.

Could be adding more league games
That's a possibility, go to a "full" conference schedule where everyone plays everyone else twice. I know that was hinted at a few months ago.

Saw a tweet from a reporter covering the NCAA tournament and said they spoke with the OVC commish and there is some breaking news coming. Didn't expand any further, but in the comments people are speculating the conf is probably either adding or losing a school.
Paul Bubb in the BOT meeting mentioned that the OVC is working on a league-wide NIL program. I have no idea if that is the "big news", but it's a thing.

The Drake and UNI fans would hate that. I saw the Semis and Final this year, they both brought a lot of fans to the tournament.
Embrace the pace of the race.
