Bennington Doubts SIU Joining Missouri Valley Conference
Southern Illinois University basketball coach Bennington said SIU may not join the Missouri Valley, noting Louisville already admitted and a future 14 or 16 game schedule. He mentioned committee visits and uncertainty about the league’s plans while SIU pursues varied athletic relations with MVC members. Salukis face Memphis State at home and other fall events as the MVC farewell track meet looms.
