It is refreshing to think that we SHOULD be able to compete for conference championships in all sports once again.

It’s something we needed to do but in my perfect world Illinois State and SIU comes with us too. Just like having those rivalries (well not recently lol)
Does anyone think anyone else will eventually leave MVFC too? Like Indiana State?

I wish we would / could for at least football. Hard to imagine us leaving MVC basketball and MVC baseball behind though, even if the basketball isn't as good as it used to be.WIU2DC wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:17 pm It’s something we needed to do but in my perfect world Illinois State and SIU comes with us too.

Enjoy this year and make the most of it. Playing in the toughest conference means you can sneak into the playoff with even a so-so record. Starting next year, you probably need to be top two in the conference to get in.

I may be in a small group, but I wish we could of stayed in the MVFC, the best conference in the FCS. but I do understand we will be able to compete fully

Ideally, yes, I wish we could have stayed. Ideally I would like to see the conference go back to when it was the Gateway, and Youngstown was probably the farthest travel-wise. But, they are not going to dump the Dakota schools - and even if we were athletically competitive with them, the travel costs are too high. Too many D1 schools in IL fighting for a piece of the pie when the Dakotas have many fewer D1 schools competing for $$$$. This is where my old butt says I miss the good old days...........4EverPurple&Gold wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 12:41 pm I may be in a small group, but I wish we could of stayed in the MVFC, the best conference in the FCS. but I do understand we will be able to compete fully

I’ll miss the MVC but I would rather be in a conference were we have a good chance of winning every week instead of knowing that we’re more than likely going to lose.rocki wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 1:07 pmIdeally, yes, I wish we could have stayed.
