Call it a process. The CSUB AD said his top priority when he took the job in August 2015, was to get the Runners into the Big West. It took a little over two years, but it happened. He got lucky, because it was a package deal with UCSD, but it happened.

So as part of the UMKC process, the Roos need to start winning and Martin needs to do a good job of fundraising. The hope has to be that they become a top 100 program and become attractive to the MVC when and if they have an opening. Maybe, like the CSUB AD, he gets lucky.

If they join the MVC eventually, they can move back to the Municipal Auditorium or decide to built an on-campus arena, if that is possible.
