Anyone else wonder how Hinson is coaching at Belmont?

although they had 26 wins this season and dropped the final game in the conference tournament to sit out of NCAA, not only to be overlooked by the NIT.

When they don't have a SINGLE Q2 (or better) game on your schedule, I don't know how they would expect better.  Belmont is a pretty decent squad, but 26 wins with their schedule and the OVC is something that a lot of teams would accomplish in their situation.

Bah on Belmont! Good basketball, but without football not a total athletic program.  We need to get the the Dakota schools en mass into the MVC. Nice teams, excellent facilities, good fan support. They're already in the trade-name stealing MVFC, so it's an obvious transition.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way (about adding the Dakota's).

Belmont makes sense like Loyola made sense in that you're adding a big market in Nashville which helps in publicity and with the tv deal.  And their women's basketball team is just as good as their men's team.  Probably need to upgrade their baseball facility a little but they have the money to do so.

Basketball is what makes money in this conference.  Yes I support SIU football as well, but basketball should definitely be priority.  NCAA tournament teams make us money.  Football loses money.  I like the thought of adding Belmont.

Agree - and SDSU has been pretty good in basketball lately. They all would improve in bball  if in the MVC for everything. I'd like to see the F in MVFC disappear. (if Bradley and Drake want to stay out of football, let em.)
