During his long tenure with the St. Louis-based MVC, Elgin has overseen the Valley's rise to prominence as a top-ten conference in men's basketball and in other sports. One key element has been the establishment of its men's basketball tournament - known as Arch Madness - into one of the best in the nation. He and his staff have also made St. Louis a regular stop on the NCAA Tournament trail, hosting a total of 10 NCAA basketball events - including a Men's Final Four, two Women's Final Fours and seven men's Regionals - since 1998. The Valley brand has also been strengthened by the development of a league television package that now includes more than 60 live events annually on Fox Sports, ESPN and CBS. Elgin served on the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee from 1998-2002.
Elgin and his wife, Melaine, live in St. Louis. They have six daughters: Lisa, Jessica, Julie, Anna, Emma and Mary.
