Maybe not just this year, but their windows are opening. They aren't all going to make it, but none will make it if effort isn't made. Starting that decent quality H/H on the road the year before you think you'll be really good sounds like a good plan.
And if we're just going to throw our hands up because "Evansville is Evansville" then I think it's fair to expect some frustration with the current make-up and direction of the league.
I don't think it is out of line to question the make-up of the league. The bad spot teams are in is that there are really no viable options to get much better by leaving the league or by bring in new members. The only real chance MVC teams have for a better league is for the current MVC teams to step up their game.
