        Considering that Valparaiso has not yet accepted the invitation to join the MVC, this seems to suggest it is a done deal (which we already knew).

        However, the Valpo beat writer for the NW Indiana Times seems shocked that this would be announced while Valpo is still a member of the Horizon League-

          6 teams with home games play an opponent with a worse record than Utah St, so I wouldn't say Valpo has the biggest cupcake.
          What part of illegal don't you understand?

            I just think they'll be one of the bottom teams in the MWC,
            ...only 2 teams in the MWC finished with a worse conference record, and one of them, UNLV has landed one of the top recruiting classes with 4-Star and 5-Star kids coming in.
            Utah State was a very bad road team, they lose their best player & team leader and return almost all underclassmen..
            I think Valpo can handle them at home

              Valpo may not be real good next season, either.
              4 of their top 5 players were seniors this past year (though one of them might get a 5th year because of injury), including losing the Horizon League Player of the Year, Alec Peters, and their only other All-Conference player Shane Hammink (2nd team). They also lose their top 3-point shooters.
              And they do not have a blockbuster recruiting class. They do have several redshirt players sitting out who might help right away, but I don't see that replacing what they lost. They'll probably be picked in the MVC preseason poll somewhere between 5th and 8th.
