The Valley has remade itself over and over and over for 114 years. There's no 'hopefully we survive Loyola leaving'. They were here for all of 8 years. We've lost a dozen programs over the years that were head and shoulders above where Loyola is today and we're still one of the best leagues in the country outside the P6.
I'll reiterate that we're going to be a better league on 7/1/22 than we were on 7/1/21.
This. I don't say this to be mean, but honestly, I usually skim past Valpo's post because of all of the sheer panic in his posts about the MVC. It's as if we are one bad loss away from completely collapsing. It's exhausting to see it over and over. Yes, the MVC will survive as it always has, hell, even the OVC will survive in some form.
No offense to Loyola, but I agree and have said it before. We are definitely better next July than the last one. Top to bottom I like our league better than just about every non P6. It's time we worry and focus on our current membership than constantly fret about who is going to come and save us. Belmont and Murray need to come in and maintain their swagger. Drake needs to keep their momentum after the long slumber. UNI needs to stay competitive post AJ Green. We need Bradley and Illinois State back to their bloodbath rivalry. My Aces need to address the leadership of our men's program, and find a way to win some games and start filling the Ford Center again, and Valpo needs to find a way to fund some much needed facility improvements.
That is how we keep the MVC going forward, not setting around, drawing up one fantasy add after another.
