Oral Roberts' Return to the Summit
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2015 11:06 am
Oral Roberts was in town this weekend for baseball.
A few Oral Roberts parents had made the trip up. I asked one of the ORU dads why Oral Roberts had left the Southland Conference. He told me that the answer is "money". He said that the travel expenses are cheaper in the Summit in comparison to the Southland. He also said that the Summit has a monetary reward system in which teams that finish first in a conference sport receive a "bonus" in the form of money which is to be used to assist in travel costs.
