That is actually false. Elgin retired 5 years ago. He just forgot to tell HR!

Lol jokes aside, Elgin has maintained the relevance of the MVC even as the money schools try to push out mid-majors.  The league is looking to make a jump with good coaching and young talent, and hopefully the next commish hire can help get the conference back to knocking on the door of the power 5.

Barry is barely qualified to be a color commentator on a Valley broadcast.

If I were a betting person, I would bet he had the application ready, and he has already applied.

33 years as leader, he has had a decent run, lost 2 top teams and replaced them with average teams.

Beyond securing the Valley men's Hoops in St Louis,  setting up and hosting several Regional NCAA tournament games.  Wish him well, time for new blood to lead the valley.

His replacement will need to carry the torch, maybe someone upbeat like a BBQ sauce salesman....

Not an Elgin fan, but he replaced Cretin, who never got past the 2nd round in the last 30 years (and usually lost in the 1st round) with a team that went to the Final Four! Overall NCAA records? Loyola has fewer appearances but a considerably better record than the Bluejays in the NCAA!

 😲 Missouri Valley Football Conference commissioner Patty Viverito, who is in her 36th year. (talk about success for football DII!) 5 teams in the top 25!
