Last week, a reader wrote a letter to the editor asking the Fox Valley Conference to invite Marian Central to join. Sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick pontificate on whether that makes sense.

Styf: The Catholic Seven invited two other schools to joint the new Big East Conference. So why can’t the Fox Valley Conference, which hasn’t added a school to replace Johnsburg, add Marian Central? The simple answer is they don’t want to. They made that clear last summer in soliciting applications for one to three “public” schools to join. Now that that part hasn’t worked out, maybe they should change their mind.
