@vu72 I would assume buy games go towards standard operations and not the excellence fund(ie. The plane at PC Airport and gameday essentials). I believe someone posted as such but I do not remember exactly where

Because of last year's exodus, I'm bracing myself for disappointment, while holding out hope for some pleasant surprises.

I know the $$$ is a huge factor, perhaps overwhelmingly decisive. But as I took another look at Cooper Schwieger's and All Wright's stats, I saw two guys getting decent playing time and putting up solid, role-player numbers for schools that probably aren't going anywhere in terms of post-season play. Given how close the talent levels are in the MVC, it's arguable that Valpo would've been going to the NCAA had these guys returned to join the current group.

I see Pettigrew giving up a similar opportunity if (or is it really when?) he leaves Valpo.

We do treat our players in a first class way, as in chartered jet service versus long bus rides or public air flights. I remember being at DFW for a flight and saw Missouri State players there. When I asked where they were headed they said Chicago for the Valpo/UIC games. As it turned out, we were on the same flight. It was painful to see guys 6’8” crammed into middle seats.
