Morehead State is a member of the OVC, but their football program is a member of the non-scholarship Pioneer Football League. Is there any particular reason why Morehead State isn't in the OVC for football at this point? Scholarships do cost money, but I imagine the travel for the football program in such a nation-wide conference is pretty jarring.

Also, given that the OVC needs football programs, I'd imagine Morehead State would be welcomed with open arms at this point.

But i suspect I'm missing something here. If the board knows something I don't, then I'd appreciate being brought up to speed on the OVC situation.

I do not believe they have the scholarship funding to or they would have done it years ago. Now it costs even more if you want to be successful because of your best players expecting NIL money.
