Report: Loyola to Missouri Valley

CHICAGO -- Loyola of Chicago has accepted an invitation to the Missouri Valley Conference and is leaving the Horizon League, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The person, speaking Sunday on the condition of anonymity because the move has not been announced, says some details were still being finalized. A formal announcement is expected this week, with the move taking effect on July 1.

Several outlets reported the switch over the weekend. It comes at a busy time for the school.

Loyola hired Sheryl Swoopes as women's basketball coach last week, hoping the three-time WNBA MVP can raise the profile of that program. The school in recent years has opened a new multipurpose athletic facility and remodeled its arena.

RE: Replacement for CU
Many are not happy about this add, but with the economics at play for many in the Valley, it is not surprising.

Many expect Wichita State to be looking for an exit strategy, and while we don't know how the vote went on this, it is assumed that we and Missouri State voted no with the schools in Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois voting yes.

This does little to help the Valley in the short term, even though they have the resources to elevate their programs in the future, they will drag down competition and RPI heavily in the next few years.
