What makes Loyola head and shoulders better than UIC for the MVC?

I think there might be a bias toward adding another private school.

Right OC. I should have prefaced that question with, "besides being private."

That being said, is there anything else besides their 60s success that would make them a better option when compared side-by-side?

I've read a lot of other talk about the amount of money that Loyola has in their endowment.

I don't see where Blair says this.

Hopefully, this move will benefit both the Valley and the Loyola program. It should be a good thing for the Valley to get the exposure in Chicago, especially for Bradley's recruiting there. And I hope the Loyola program will improve because of the better competition and bigger national profile the Valley should offer.
