DETROIT (AP) - Oakland University basketball coach Greg Kampe says the University of Detroit stopped the Horizon League from allowing his program to join the conference a decade ago.
Former Detroit athletic director Brad Kinsman says Kampe's recollection is accurate. Kinsman recalls Detroit determined back then that it didn't made sense to share the Motor City market with another school in the same league.

Horizon League commissioner Jon LeCrone, Summit League and Detroit officials declined comment on Oakland's interest in joining the Horizon.
