Official 2014-15 MVCfans.com Prediction - 10th Place

[Rambler63]

I don't mean to pile on Loyola. But do they really not have an AD? If so why not? Supposedly they have a huge endowment so funds shouldn't be a problem. And upon entering the MVC they talked about a renewed commitment to athletics.... But no AD? It just doesn't make sense.

AD left in May for the job at Penn. There's been a search going on since then, and it's down to a small group of finalists. My guess is they were waiting until after Labor Day to make an announcement.

A reminder here that Moser was signed to a 4 year extension before last season. I think that puts him under contract to 2018, so the buyout will be substantial.

Not to worry, we've been assure Loyola is loaded and willing to spend on athletics in order to improve their programs.

With more than enough votes cast to determine a winner, the official MVCfans.com prediction for 10th place during the 2014-15 men's Missouri Valley Conference basketball season - Loyola.

I will begin the poll for 9th place later today.

I don't know what's happening at Loyola but if either

1) Moser is being retained because of his coaching ability
- or -
2) Loyola can't afford his buyout

Then, both Loyola and the MVC are pretty much screwed.

And people want to pile on schools who are wanting to leave.

Anyone who doesn't want their school to leave the MVC for a better conference doesn't have their school's best interests at heart.

The difference is that it's not likely anyone can leave the MVC at the moment. And the more opposed someone is to schools leaving is directly related to how unlikely it is that their own school could leave.
