Welcome aboard, Shockers (and default Navy Football fans)!!!

So, when do we see our black and yellow Navy shirts to wear to the Tulsa game in September?

RE: Welcome Wichita State
Thanks, all.

I watched the MVC go from "The Valley of Death" and the #1 basketball conference back in the '60's, to losing the good teams and replacing them with schools transitioning from "College Division" (a former classification between D1 and D2) to D1. Last year the MVC was the #12 conference. It's been painful to watch the conference deteriorate the way it did.

Now the MVC is filled with a lot of "teacher's college" type schools. That makes it tough to raise significant $$ from alumni. A lot of athletic departments are satisfied with mediocrity as long as it doesn't cost too much. A couple schools don't have the $$ to fire bad coaches.

We pay our coach more than some MVC schools pay for their entire basketball operations. It is a tremendous relief to get out of that hell hole of a conference. The American was always first on my wish list of conferences to join.

For us old timers, getting back together with Memphis, Cincy, and Tulsa is like a homecoming. I think we have a lot more in common with those schools than we do with schools in the MVC.

Yup. One extremist doesn't represent an entire fan-base. He's an idiot. This is the first conference realignment move that has been a 100% win for UCONN since the split. Anyone who doesn't agree with that is bitter, uneducated, and/or an simply an embarrassment to UCONN nation and college basketball in general.

NSFW language

Hopefully UConn won't be an RPI drag this year again.

We are proud to join a very good conference that should continue to become an outstanding one, and hope we will contribute well to that end. Looking forward to many excellent basketball games, volleyball games, hopefully baseball, and more. Let's all work together to put fear and loathing into the Big12-2, the Big Priest, as well as all others!
