The ever-changing college landscape has created a situation where longtime rivalries are put aside for monetary gains. Universities are leaving conferences at all levels of the NCAA, for bigger paychecks, leaving historic rivalries to fade. Southern Indiana and Kentucky Wesleyan haven’t let the Panthers departure from the Great Lakes Valley Conference this past off-season eliminate their long historic rivalry dating back to the late 1960’s. This season, USI and KWC will meet twice on the hardwood, like they did as conference members, although conference standings won’t be impacted from Tuesday’s result or the return trip to the Physical Activities Center on campus Dec. 21. These games are simply for bragging rights.
