After losing Butler and feeling the sting of dropping down to just nine members - the Horizon League is reportedly looking to poach new members from other conferences...
But one writer for a Wisconsin-Milwaukee site claimed Evansville is going to jump to the Horizon -
a report that both Evansville & the Valley are saying is a complete falsehood or fabrication...
"The original report published by PantherU.com, a Milwaukee-based
blog run and edited by sports writers covering Horizon League member
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, said Belmont and Oakland would make the move
with UE."
"University of Evansville athletic director John Stanley on Thursday refuted a report
published last night that said the school will move to the Horizon League, saying,
“The University of Evansville is a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, and
we haven’t had any discussions about changing conferences.”
BTW I spent a little time checking out this guy's UWM site "Panther U"...and it has a lot of wild and ridiculous talk & speculation with teams from Murray State, to Belmont, to FIU, to Davidson, to SIUE, to Evansville and plenty more named as teams likely to join the Horizon as soon as 2013!
plus the guy's message board is a bit of a joke - not a single post in almost 2 weeks and only one post in the past 3 weeks.
Not sure why anyone would take this guy seriously...
