I can't speak for the others, but for me this guy named Terry Allen...maybe you have heard of him...anyhow he basically took a really giant bulldozer and killed our program. Once he either figures out how to stop killing our program or he is dealt with by being run out of town then my interest will return.

Also a lot of Creighton and Wichita State people post here. All of the Creighton people are pretty much secretly Nebraska football fans in the fall and probably post about football on one of the hundreds of Husker boards out there. GBR! The Wichita State fans don't have a team to support and channel all of their energy into a once proud baseball program that is as relevant to the college landscape today as Crystal Pepsi is to our current society.

Saluki fans are never here, Indiana State fans seem to only talk basketball from the short time I've been here. There have only been a handful of Illinois State that talk football and that doesn't leave enough people to generate any real talk among the UNI and Missouri State posters who frequent here. And based on this past season the latter two fan bases really didn't feel much like talking football. Have I left anyone out?

Valid points I guess. Sorry.

That...and this isn't a site that MVFC fans generally go too.

The site is dedicated to the MVC, not the MVFC. Most of the MVC doesn't care about the MVFC, and schools with football all have a segment of the fan base that don't care about football either.

That's ridiculous

Why?

Most schools in the MVC are basketball schools....even the football schools.

UNI may be the only one that qualifies as a football school, and that *may* be debatable.

UNI
ILL ST
IND ST
MISS ST
SIU

thats 5 schools with football.

NDSU
SDSU

7 schools gets the Missouri Valley a FBS football conference and lots more exposure on ESPN, FSN, etc.

One does not simply create a new FBS conference and demand TV contracts and bowl tie-ins.

Bowl tie-ins are easy. You go the Boise route and create your own.

MVC Champion to the State Farm Gateway Arch Bowl in St. Louis.

Runner-up to the Sprint Wireless Bowl in KC.

The MAC and Sun Belt are always looking for tie-ins and FOX is going to have two brand new sports networks that are going to need content. Boom.
