The Heartland Conference, at that time, was only 7 schools - two of which were in south Texas and another was in the Oklahoma panhandle. That should answer your question.
    I stand corrected. It still puzzles me to hear someone, especially a GLVCer, talk like they think people should want to be in a weaker conference rather than a stronger one. But whatevs.

      Really? Then why did KWC leave the GLVC? Because that's exactly the explanation given by KWC officials at the time.

      And, btw, "weaker" and "stronger" are relative. I wouldn't want to be in a "weak" conference, but I'd rather be in a strong conference that's "weaker" than a loaded conference. Do you really think that having Bellarmine and Indy in the GMAC will make it easier for KWC to have a good season in men's basketball? Not having them there got you a trip to the NCAA tourney the last couple years.

        That was part of the reason, and specific to our non-core sports which are not fully funded. And you have no basis to say not having Bell, Indy, or anyone else "got us" a trip to the NCAA tourney because a stronger conference tends to get more bids, therefore had we been stronger top to bottom we most likely would not have had to win the conference tournament to get a bid.

        Like I said, I just find it weird to have this lecture coming from a GLVC person when the last 3 years all we've heard is how stupid KWC is for moving to a weaker conference and how it serves us right to not get an at large bid yadda yadda. I am not here to argue, so I'm done. I will say that this at least was more entertaining than being told we're the worst team on the planet or hearing that the only coach worse than Watson is Happy (for the 3 millionth time).

          Being in a conference with better teams is only helpful if you're a better team. How much has being in the GLVC helped William Jewell or UIS come tourney time? Having Bellarmine in the GLVC doesn't help those teams, but being in a weaker conference would.

          And I'm not lecturing anyone....I asked someone else a question and you chimed in and called me "pig headed". Oh, and KWC is the worst team on the planet. ;)

            Panthers made the same mistake many other teams make. Hiring someone that is past their prime. They can right the ship now. BITC.

              Cedarville is on a 3 game win streak - including 2 GLIAC wins.

                I hate to hear this about Osborne. I hope it is just a case where he needs some time away from the stress and tear of the game. I don't care about the diagnosis...that is personal and doesn't matter.

                KWC did get two wins this weekend with the interim. Delta State is well-coached with Boone especially on defense. To beat them by 30 is quality. I know they lost Schmitt who was an All-American but they still had talent back and played LSSU tough.

                  Panthers must begin search now. Creativity, thinking outside the box, willing to take a risk and learning from Albert Einstein is a must. GBOGH.

                        Fun fact - Tristan Popa is a 6'10" soph forward for future G-MAC member Tiffin - I remember his 7'1" dad coaching the UIndy women's team a few years back. Was him self a great player for the Miami Hurricanes

                          I remember him as well. Tallest coach I have ever seen. He seemed like a gentle giant to me.

                            I know you were joking, but Missouri S&T has the worst team on the planet. The Miners haven't won a conference game all season!

                              Missouri S&T vs. Ohio Valley would be an interesting game.
