UIC to the Valley is official

That’s fantastic news, am very happy for UIC and hope it will help them step up overall as a program. I hope Loyola continues to schedule them yearly, it’s a great rivalry that should continue, and we shouldn’t be like other teams and be scared to schedule mid majors from Chicago.
