Overtime: Fall sports validate move
Published Nov. 14, 2012 Based solely on how Butler’s athletic teams have performed in the fall months, I can say I was wrong. I was wrong when I projected struggles for many of Butler’s squads if the university made the move from the Horizon League to the Atlantic 10 Conference. In the March 28 issue…
