They're just waiting for Bellarmine to fully transition.

Pulling another NKU, eh? 03-wink

Yep. You don't move to Freedom Hall with the intention of playing Jacksonville, Stetson, and North Alabama long term.

And I bet Bellarmine’s announced as a Horizon member in 3 months.

OVC just added Little Rock.

I feel like its becoming attractive for a DI or DII that is right in the middle of their footprint.

One thing I would be concerned with is post MVC expansion will the Horizon League go after SIU-E as a replacement?


SIU-Edwardsville have no market. Grand Valley State does. I would think Lindenwood in the suburbs of Saint Louis might be attractive, or Maryville and UMSL.

Bellarmine wants an all sports invite to SoCon. That is why they were looking into adding football in the first place.

They're not adding real football, you doorstop. They're adding something called
"sprint football" as a club sport. (No, it's not a typo for "spring football", that would make sense. It's something about a 178 pound weight limit.)

Won’t happen. YSU wants to be in the best FCS conference possible. They’ve left a stronger OVC in the past.

Jim Tressell won't put them back in a conference he wanted out of.

RE: What is the OVC going to do?
Would OVC be desperate enough to give Grand Valley State a full invite? I am seeing signs online that it could happen. A lot of D2 conferences are becoming 12 or more schools, and there are not enough schools to play OOC games for the smaller conferences.

What? There are 15 D2 football conferences and only 3 do not play OOC games. Those conferences have a total of 38 football members out of the 166 teams in D2. Even the 16 football member PSAC plays OOC games. It just doesn't help matters when the 3 no-OOC conferences are in the middle of the country.

ASUN, OVC, Southland, Horizon, Summit all waiting on the MVC dominoes to fall before acting/reacting. Nothing happens till January according to Matt Brown.

RE: What is the OVC going to do?
If the OVC became desperate enough, could they force Morehead State into the OVC football fold as a warm body to keep the conference NCAA compliant?
Even though they don't offer scholarships, they would still count towards the NCAA minimum
