People at belmond klemme do. That’s a big jump from 1A HS sports.
I'm hearing rumblings of Baylor.
REPORT: Belmont is headed to the Missouri Valley Conference
The Bruins are leaving the Ohio Valley Conference for a shot at Arch Madness

Sounds like Ohio Valley is losing two other teams as well. The article seems to imply Murray State could be looking at leaving too, or stay behind as the premier team in the OVC.
This would be a great team to add to the MVC. I pulled the trigger for season tickets to Drake Men's b-ball this year, so this would be a pleasant development.

So it's 7 teams with these departures, then would be 6 if Murray splits. Curious which league/leagues OVC would raid (not sure of pecking order when it gets down to that level).

I'll answer this an then leave you guys to go after him...
The end game is most likely 14. Murray State, UT-Arlington and Little Rock.
UTA and Little Rock are getting the boot from the Sun Belt because they don't play football and they're geographically a nice bridge to Missouri State who has become somewhat of an outlier. Plus UTA just announced that they're doubling their basketball budget.
Makes the Valley at least on par with the A10 and new American and probably moves it ahead of whatever is going to be left of the Mountain West after the American picks what they want. It's a really good move for the league.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Wait… you care? According to the trolls on here no one cares.REPORT: Belmont is headed to the Missouri Valley Conference

To not spill the beans on pay walls but The Athletic believes CSU and Air Force would bolt today to the AAC.
SDSU and Boise probably wouldn't because they are hedging that the B12 would expand and snag them.
I read that and it totally makes sense. There's also some smoke that the new WAC is really pressing hard at New Mexico to be the anchor for that league. The Mountain West's biggest problem has always been that nobody really wants to be with Fresno and San Jose but they don't have another viable league to jump to.
