Yep. You'd think...

...MSU would just give Valley enough money to get enough scholarship players and then pay them the rest when the time comes to play.

Of course, there'd be penalties and such if Valley drops us to play at somewhere else.

I wish they would just go ahead and combine MVSU with Delta State or at least end their football program.

With as little scholarships that they fund, ending the football program may be a better cost-effective option for the Delta Devils. Their other option is dropping down to Division II and maybe playing in the SIAC if they really want football.

They tried to do that back in the 80s. It was long overdue even then. There is no reason in the world to have 2 full universities that close to each other in that part of the state. It'll never happen though.

Yeah, I still remember the Save the Valley, Close Ole Miss banner...

...that was at one of the boomerang dorms and later made its way to the Ole Miss basketball game at the Hump.

Fully expected that Dylan Favre will be starting QB for UT Martin in this game....
