Yes it was nice for the league and I'm jealous of OU and would be pissed at the defections Kampe has endured after this season if I was a Pioneers fan, but I laugh when I read her words. This league has been in decline for many years. It's actually been lucky to see a few schools join/overperform -- then leave for greener pastures. There is no hope for this sorry league and our goal must remain to turn around our own Program, build first-class facilities, start winning in all sports, and GET THE HELL OUT!

I said that 7-8 years ago, but here we are. I think we are leaving when the league disbands or they throw us out!

I sense a major restructuring of college athletics is inevitable in the next five years or so, the power schools more separated from mid and low majors. Along with that change there could be major conference realignment. I think probably the optimal strategy short term for UDM is to do as best possible in the Horizon over the next few seasons, hopefully providing the school with some better options regarding conference affiliation going forward.

I agree with Rogobob77. Get our own house in order. Worry about the HL second. Having a better Athletics program and a better men's BB program gives us better options depending upon what happens over the next few years.
