Do any of the old timers know why 30 years ago why Cleveland State, Illinois-Chicago, Northern Illinois, Wright State, Milwaukee and Green Bay left the Mid-Continent Conference to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in the same year?   The Midwestern Collegiate Conference was seen as higher presti...

Bradley has played 2-for-1's with EIU and SIUE. ISU has played a 2-for-1 with EIU. 

My guess is that it came down to preexisting relationships between staff members. Perhaps EIU/SIUE staff were friends with the coaching staffs at those schools when those agreements were made. 

 

Your odds of being seen by casual fans and sports bars across the country are infinitely higher if you are playing on a national linear tv channel like ESPNU.
