EKU AD Speaks About Departure
(St. Louis, MO) – Eastern Kentucky is leaving the Ohio Valley Conference and heading for the Atlantic Sun Conference. Athletic Director Matt Roan sat down with us to tell us why.
While many felt this was a largely football driven move, Mr. Roan says that is not the case, nor was it a decision that was made in a hurry. Conversations about leaving the OVC had been on-going for some time and the EKU leader of athletics simply says, ‘now was the right time.’

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
