Sending Creighton to Wichita to ruin their new years again would be fine with me. :bounce:

Sending our Wichita State University Shockers back to Omaha, the Century Link Center, nationally televised game, first place in the MVC regular champioship standings, number one seed at Arch Madness at stake, and in in front of over 18,735+ White-Out CU fans would be fine with me.

:wave:

P.S. Did you leave last year's game at Omaha against the WSU Shockers (please choose one):

a. at the half
b. with 10 minutes left in the second half
c. with five minutes in the second half
d. no I stayed for the whole game caused I wanted to see WSU's third string team.

When did you leave St Louis?

To the mods - I accept blame for this.

MVC men's hoops schedules should be released early next week. The league is working on the draft form of the skeds right now.

Does the ESPN/tv schedule usually come out shortly after?

The Valley needs to get rid of the rule that requires every team be shown in the TV package. I don't want crappy games at the end of the year on TV again.

Agreed, but that would almost completely rule out any games for UE, DU, UNI and ISUb they simply don't have the following or are in the shadows of the BCS counterparts in their market. With that being said I enjoy having a game on the ESPN networks and FSN the same day makes for loads of options. What are the individual TV deals teams have worked out? MSU has every away game (not already picked up) televised locally and across the state, is there similar contracts with the other teams in the league?

+1. One of the most stupid rules ever implemented - essentially the conference office's version of a participation trophy.

I wonder if this rule was implemented by some league wide vote....

Almost every conference has such a rule. That's why we saw Purdue vs. Penn State in football last year nationwide on ESPN.
