Cincinnati use to be our main rivalry back in the day and as much as I love the ISU rivalry we cannot let it hold us back from better and greater pastures.

My anger on officiating has been brewing prior to the season. Last year it was no better and I believe this year it has been worse. There has been a few well done reffed games for us this year but it should be the norm not the exception. I'm sure it has been brought up to the commish but has anything been done? I'd like us to work it out but if all else fails we should consider alternatives as any good enterprise would. I believe the overall quality of the MVC has not been enhanced throughout the ages. Way back we had Louisville and Cincinnati, they left for greener pastures, Tulsa who was one of our better teams left, so we need to consider what it would take for us to move up. Marquette moved into the Big East and are doing well. Why can't we think of old BU as a major brand with a little more investment we could but staying pat the way the Valley is will not get us there. Either the Valley makes a full scale effort in improving the brand, and not just with their mouth, or we consider leaving. We could consider to make our own league with other like minded schools that have tradition and are willing to make investments into their program.

The Big Central Conference:
Bradley
A Chicago School (more for media coverage)
SLU
Butler
Xavier
Drake
Creighton
Valpo
WSU

I also believe collegiately speaking the academic reputations of most of these schools are pretty good. Think big or stay the same!

Well, sure that conference would be nice, but 3 or 4 conferences won't dissolve and reorganize to make that grouping possible.


Right now there is no place where BU can go to "move up". And I find the bad officiating used as a crux to support the argument to be weird.
