The University of Southern Indiana announced today it will become a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. The Screaming Eagles will begin play in the OVC with the 2022-23 academic year and begin playing in OVC championships in a four year transitional period but would not be eligible to play in NCAA championships. The school’s Board of Trustees voted Monday in favor of making the move from NCAA Division Two to Division One.
