More (Positive) Changes Coming!
(St. Louis, MO) – Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner Beth DeBauche believes good things are ahead for the 75-year-old league. We sat down during the waning hours of the OVC Basketball Media day.
During our conversation we discussed the league’s three new teams (Lindenwood, Little Rock and Southern Indiana) and a season of transition. The Commissioner was not shy about saying expansion is likely in the OVC’s future.
League television coverage will be done uniquely. Each of the OVC’s ESPN games will be decided by a ‘wild-card’ formation. Teams can play their way on to the four-letter-network.
We discussed the location of the OVC Tournament. It appears that the league tournament will continue to be played in Evansville until at least 2024. However, the tournament could be under-going a change. The Commissioner shared that some ‘on campus’ games could be a part of the tournament in the future.
Please enjoy our conversation with the classy Commissioner Beth DeBauche.

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
