MISSOURI VALLEY INVITES VALPARAISO TO CONFERENCE

The Missouri Valley Conference has offered membership to Valparaiso less than a month after Wichita State left the league to join the American Athletic Conference. The conference made the announcement Tuesday with a statement on Twitter: “The Missouri Valley Conference Presidents Council has unanimously voted to extend a membership invitation to Valparaiso University, effective July 1, 2017. There will be no further comment, pending the negotiation of terms.”
