EKU AD Speaks About Departure
(St. Louis, MO) – Eastern Kentucky is leaving the Ohio Valley Conference and heading for the Atlantic Sun Conference. Athletic Director Matt Roan sat down with us to tell us why.
While many felt this was a largely football driven move, Mr. Roan says that is not the case, nor was it a decision that was made in a hurry. Conversations about leaving the OVC had been on-going for some time and the EKU leader of athletics simply says, ‘now was the right time.’

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
