Valparaiso Accepts Invitation to Join MVC

Valparaiso University accepted an invitation to join the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) May 25. The move will be official July 1.

Valparaiso will come to the MVC from the Horizon League, the conference Loyola was in prior to joining the MVC in 2013. The Crusaders will replace Wichita State University, who left for the American Athletic Conference April 7.

“We are truly excited to welcome Valparaiso University to our Missouri Valley Conference family,” MVC Commissioner Doug Elgin said in a press release. “Valpo brings a combination of strong athletics tradition and academic excellence, and will be a great fit competing in our league.
