Exclusive Interview With Matt Roan

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.’

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry

Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops

Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi

Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
