guinpen:
The OVC is not as stable as it used to be but I would say a good move for WIU.

YSUGO:
Was a good move. But we will keep trying to beat our heads against the wall with all the Dakotas to play for a third place finish and maybe every. 4 years  making the playoffs .  We are a small fish in the conference in regards to money etc.  But hell it’s the SEC of FBS.  Ask Missouri and teams like South Carolina or Vandy how that is working for them

goodnews:
Who will the conference target as a replacement?  Eastern Kentucky just left the OVC to join the A-Sun Conference in all sports.  I thought they were a better fit then Murray State but once the OVC started to crumble i'm sure they wanted to secure all sports.

Wick250:
This was a long overdue move that benefits financially-stressed Western Illinois tremendously. They reunite in a conference with their rival, Eastern Illinois. They can compete immediately in the remnant of OVC football. Most importantly, they escape the Summit League and will see their transportation costs greatly reduced.

For us, we will no longer have to endure their horrible television announcers and Mickey Mouse football game production.
