Secondly as far as the history lessons, being from St Louis and beyond 50 years old, I've followed the Valley long before Missouri State came into it. Funny that we don't see the same behavior from Drake and Bradley fans despite their rich heritage in the Valley as well, so those rationalizations ring a little hollow. And funny UNI can't refer to a history of excellence that is only 3 years ago, but we constantly have to hear about the history of WSU in the 70's and 80's.
My experience has always been if you are truly good, you rarely have to spout it because others are more than willing to do it for you. I have no problem giving credit to WSU for their current success , they've earned it; but not anymore than any other MVC program did over the years.
Cold likes to constantly reference the D-2 heritage of some of the other Valley schools , but what tends to come out of that is how embarrassed WSU is to not have been one of the MVC schools that were courted to the opportunities Louisville,Memphis, Cinn. and other schools were, and then to have the schools that they had to now share the league with, almost all out perform them in the first decade of the current league structure. Had to be a bitter pill .

Do i really care ? not really, cause it makes the valley better and many teams from other leagues do the same thing. But my point being that the rest of the valley teams dont cheat on recruiting (to my knowledge). I hope wsu isnt caught just for the sake of the league, but someday soon it could come back to haunt them . And shocker fans im sure will deny this but there are some of them that already know this to be true.
