Title: MVC Scheduling Rumors
Post by: VUGrad1314 on December 01, 2017, 11:37:48 AM
All of this information comes from MVC Fans:
UNI will return to the Battle 4 Atlantis in 2021

UNI will play in either the Paradise Jam or the MGM Main Event next year They also have a road date with UT-Arlington

Illinois State's home non-con looks fantastic: Ole Miss FGCU and BYU are on it as well as Possibly SDSU for the MVC-MWC challenge

The Redbirds are also rumored to be playing in the Cayman Islands Classic with Creighton Georgia St Bonaventure and Clemson so far as rumored participants. What a schedule! Wonder if Ole Miss  will do to Illinois State what NC State did to Loyola and back out of their road half of a home and home agreement.

By starting 5is string are  you implying Valpo should get their a$$ in gear and be more upfront with their schedule?

Per bloggingthebracket.com, here are MVC teams already committed to pre-season tournaments for next year:

UNI - Virgin Islands Paradise Jam
Ill State - Cayman Islands Classic
Mo State - Hall Of Fame Classic (Kansas City)
In State - Diamond Head Classic

There are lots of tourneys with open slots - this should be a good test to see if MVC membership helps Valpo land a spot in a big-time tournament.

You think we should announce our games with Augustana, Carthage, Concordia-St.Paul and Wagner in the rebirth of the Crusader Classic?

Northern Iowa should develop a 3-day workshop for Mid-Major men's bb programs entitled "Optimizing Your Non-Conference Schedule for Maximum Success."  Mark, Matt and Luke should be 1st in line to sign-up.
