ST. LOUIS – The Murray State University Board of Regents accepted an invitation from the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) during a special meeting held at Wells Hall on the MSU campus in Murray, Kentucky, on Jan. 7, 2022.
The Murray State Racers become the 11th member of the MVC beginning July 1, 2022.
UNI's Director of Athletics David Harris said the MVC wasn't obligated to add more members, so institutions were only considered if they strengthen the league's brand.
"The MVC has set a high bar for adding member institutions," Harris said.
