Valley RPI....

I hope that anyone who reads this thread that continues to call the MVC an "Elite" conference would now cease. In a couple years when all the freshman and sophs grow up the MVC may be elite (top 6-7) again. But not this year. Sorry, just my opinion backed up by lots of good data.

I would agree George. Its not a shot at the MVC, just the truth. If you watch a lot of basketball you can see the talent on the floor is down in the MVC this year. That's ok. There appear to be a lot of contributing and talented young players.

I like the future of the league. This year it's just not the same quality and the talent on the floor isnt as the same level as we are used to seeing.
 
League is definitely down this year, no doubt.

Also starting to come around to SFP's way of thinking on the refs actually being a factor in our conference. Having watching some Horizon League games, the quality of game called there seems to be better than the MVC. Come to think of it, the two Patriot League games I've seen appeared to be better called.

The players will get better. Conference needs to make it a "point of emphasis" to improve our refereeing.

The Valley is definately down this year, but I'd love to see it get to the point in the future where a "down" year is two or three bids and not just a once a decade spike like we had from 2004 to 2006. But even the A-10 and MWC conferences seem to go through droughts too. As long as the BCS is in control, that will be a difficult goal to accomplish, but something to shoot for.
