Since they don't play football it should go here. the Belmont Bruins are leaving the Ohio Valley Conference for the Missouri Valley Conference. This leaves the OVC with eight basketball schools, at least until they formally invite Western Illinois to move over from the Summit League (and Missouri Valley Football Conference).

Just saw this earlier today. That's a win-win for school and conference: Belmont take a big step up in their conference opponents, while the Valley picks up a quality school and breaks into a new major market with Nashville (their return to the Mid-South for the first time since the halcyon days of Memphis and Louisville as members).

The OVC continues to slowly bleed member institutions as Austin Peay recently left for the ASUN. I wouldn't be surprised if the Valley try to add Murray State next, which would give them an even dozen schools and put another nail in OVC's coffin.

I posted this bit here - James Madison is making the move to the Sun Belt. The invite was because of football but they decided to join for all sports.

So... the CAA told JMU that they will be barred from competing in the conference championships until the school leaves
