linkMainly a football move for them but now leaves some teams in the valley questioning whether they should stay. Wonder if the league adds another member or stay as is.

Football controls everything! Outside of that, competition probably goes down for them in every other sport…plus a lot more travel it seems.
I feel like every time a team leaves a conference, fans of the remaining teams in that conference start talking about leaving as well. I think we did it when Butler, Loyola, and Valpo left the Horizon.
Curious to see if the Valley adds someone or if we stay at 11. I feel like a number of Horizon schools would be candidates. It would be our luck that within 10 years we’re in a conference called the Valley but with mostly current Horizon teams in it.

It would be our luck that within 10 years we’re in a conference called the Valley but with mostly current Horizon teams in it. The Valley is the second oldest D1 conference in the Land. There is a reason for that. We’ve had teams come and go, Different commissioners, administrators, coaches, student-athletes, etc., and STILL produce quality programs! The 9th rated conference in ‘23-‘24. At this point, I can’t help but to have confidence in the powers-that-be. |
