      It's not a good geographic fit either. Better on the budget when youre a low to mid major like GVSU/Lindenwood

Would help to prevent the issue of two teams having to cross each other when heading to the locker rooms. Its kinda shameful that guys can't just be cool about it, but its a passionate game, and well, preventing teams from crossing would do a lot in general in preventing issues.
        Its only really an issue when one team comes to town and thats it...maybe bring in extra secruity for that game or ask the admin to get the guys under control and their is no issue on the field. Locker room trashing will be the same with the one team no matter where you place them, they have done it all over not GVSU. Bad boys syndrome. When you win you can do anything you want.

          Neither is the Missouri Valley but its way ahead of the OVC.

            GVSU being in the OVC would suck. However, I live in Nashville, and selfishly I'd be for it just so I could watch GVSU @ TSU

              While the OVC is not a good conference, it may be needed to get us into D1. Once there, there’s room for movement once we’ve established ourselves. We’ll see what shakes out. Ideally, MVC/Horizon would happen, but we need to keep our options open.

                Just hoping they plan on being part of at least the D2 natty game for the first time in nearly 20 years. Is that in there somewhere? Don't want that SR1 power to come between that and their goals. If GVSU is a football power they should be able to compete for D2 championships the last 20 years. /bait

                  Wholeheartedly agree. TBH, why some people out here are so gung-ho about GV going D1 continues to elude me. We're right were we should be, and unless the NCAA landscape changes somehow there's no benefit for us to move to D1.

                      The OVC just added Western Illinois.

                        GVSU makes 12? That would make a nice number, would also make 8 football playing members.

                          The nearest in-conference opponent for GV would still be a 5-hour bus ride away. That's nuts.

                            True... then look at MTU and NMU. Lake Superior isn't much better.

                              Apples and Oranges. We have choices/options...Tech, NMU, and LSSU, not so much.

                              Tech and NMU are where they are and kinda have to roll with their best option. I'm with Kle...why would we CHOOSE to go to a format where our nearest conference or FCS foe would be five hours away? Why would we CHOOSE to spend craptons more $, get clobbered in all of our other sports, and make it so our fans travel less than they already do? We can CHOOSE to stay where we are and have half of our annual roadies be three hours or less. We can CHOOSE to stay where we are and have weekends like we are now where both golf teams are going to nationals, lacrosse is going to the Final Four, W's & M's T&F will undoubtedly go to nationals for the 20th+ straight year, and softball is rolling to yet another Super Regional. The vast majority of that sails away if we CHOOSE to want to travel like Tech and NMU do.

                              Can't for the life of me figure out why we would CHOOSE a more expensive option that provides less value to the University and our student-athletes. Just because some of our conference mates currently deal with tougher travel hardly means we should want that for ourselves when we would have make a conscious choice for it to be so.
