Multiple reports throughout the past week have indicated that Wichita State is expected to leave the Missouri Valley Conference and join the American Athletic Conference.  The Shockers would be joining the AAC as a basketball only member and the move is expected to happen before next season.

The AAC currently has 12 football members but only 11 basketball members, so the move would make sense for the AAC to add a basketball only member.

It also has been reported that MVC conference Athletic Directors and Presidents will hold an emergency meeting on Sunday in St. Louis to discuss the possible departure of Wichita State.  It’s also expected the meeting will involve discussion of potential expansion partners for the MVC.

Wichita State has been a member of the MVC since 1945.

ST. LOUIS, MO April 5, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced that their game against the Chicago Cubs this afternoon has been postponed due to the severe weather forecasted for this afternoon and night.

The two teams will make up the game tomorrow afternoon at 12:45 PM.  Fans holding tickets to today’s game should use those same tickets for admittance to tomorrow’s make-up game.  Busch Stadium gates will open at 11:15 AM.

Our broadcast time on KJAN will be moved to the same time tomorrow as was scheduled today, 11:50am.

Iowa State offensive coordinator Tom Manning says the Cyclones have kept it simple this spring and that will benefit the offense next season. The Cyclones close out drills on Saturday with a spring game.

Manning says it is an approach they were unable to use last spring after taking over the program.

With Joel Lanning’s move to linebacker Jacob Park is the established starter at quarterback. Park started the final five games of last season and Manning says his confidence is growing.

Manning says Park has made big strides this spring.
