With the addition of UIC, Belmont, and Murray, and all three having baseball, what are the chances that the MVC drops Dallas Baptist and sets the schedule for conference play at 27? Or would they keep DBU, and play a potential unbalanced schedule? Thoughts?

I don't follow the baseball team as close as the basketball team but Dallas Baptist is a top 25 baseball team - so I doubt we, the MVC, would drop them. Now if DBU got a offer to a better conference possibly they would leave. I can't speak to the scheduling part, but the short answer is I don't see DBU being kicked out of the conference.

DBU is moving to the CUSA
Perfect timing imho, and doesn’t hurt the MVC at all

Would be interesting to know why,because it seems to me that UIC,Murray St,and Belmont have above average teams. I'm sure it will cut down on travel time for them.

Looks like a geographic move - and about lateral in terms of competition I’m all for it since the MVC will now have 10 baseball members |

Looks like a geographic move - and about lateral in terms of competition I’m all for it since the MVC will now have 10 baseball members I think the move is mutually beneficial for both sides. DBU gains close games with Sam Houston and Louisiana Tech; while the rest of the MVC no longer has to travel to Texas every other year for a conference series. Another benefit for the MVC schools is that DBU had a huge competitive advantage being in a warmer climate and with baseball being their only D1 sport. Personally I'm more happy with the MVC make up right now than I've ever been. Going forward when the league adds members they need to make sure they either have MVFC football or baseball, so that we don't have to be as dependent on affiliate membership in our major sports. |
