The advantage should be playing the lower seeded teams at the best times of day, not playing fewer games.leatherneckcountry wrote: ↑Fri May 19, 2023 11:02 am The teams who worked all year to finish on top of the conference should have an easier road but look at the two teams who won the conference tournament last year it was the 3 on the women side and the 5 on the men side.
On the baseball broadcast yesterday Bubb said the Summit is looking at football again. So I'm firmly rooting for this final conclusion.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Fri May 19, 2023 10:02 amAfter thinking about things a bit more, I think something similar would really be my "dream scenario".screamingeaglepride wrote: ↑Thu May 18, 2023 3:24 pm I do not see North Alabama joining the OVC. North Alabama applied to the OVC around 10 years ago and the OVC turned them down. Austin Peay left the OVC on good terms so the door is open for Austin Peay. With 7 football schools in the OVC I believe that the OVC should ask the 4 Big South football schools to join the OVC in football only and then the OVC should wait to see if the MVFC disbands and go after Southern Illinois and Indiana State.
The Dakota schools start up Summit League Football, MVFC disbands...but then all the MVC teams in the MVFC (both ISUs, SIU, MO State, Murray State, and UNI) become football-only associate members of the OVC. OVC drops the Big South football partnership and looks like this: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit? ... sp=sharing
The MVC teams keep all their other sports in the MVC like they always have, but the OVC immediately is quite secure on the football front. WIU gets to regularly play ILSU, SIU, EIU, UNI...all teams we have long histories with...as well as nearby Lindenwood.
13 teams (12 if Missouri State ends up going FBS as is strongly rumored) playing OVC football in a nice tight footprint. The vast majority of games are driveable, lots of rivalry games can be set up to be permanent/protected rivalries...like SIU and SEMO, ILSU and EIU, hopefully ILSU and WIU also. I think Missouri State and SEMO used to have a rivalry as well (back when it would have been Southwest MO State vs Southeast MO State).
We've been in violation of Title IX for eons and refused to do anything about it.
So there's no punishment for being in violation?Tere wrote:Thu Jan 01, 1970 4:55 amWe've been in violation of Title IX for eons and refused to do anything about it.
I think the NCAA is finally cracking down or someone said something. I noticed we don't even have a compliance director right now
