VCU and Wich St would be sick to add. Why not stop at St Louis and just add 3. Not like a tourny cant be designed for it and we are already playing an odd number of teams.

They don't add any recruiting grounds or new viewership to our conference that Cincinnati doesn't already add. Cincinnati is a major power in our conference that we don't want to [deleted] off by adding a team right next to them. VCU would be interesting since its a new area and they've made the tourney the past 6 years.

Cinci isn't going anywhere unless a P5 comes calling and in that case, they're bolting regardless of who's in the AAC. I think I'd look at Rhode Island over Dayton though. I think they could do well in the American and they always have a solid OOC schedule. Would help the conference's collective RPI.

Plus I remember when I was a student and we beat them by 30 :lol:

Solid fan bases at VCU and Dayton. I'm tired of seeing empty buildings.

VCU has great hair too.

Sounds good to me the Gonzaga game at Moody last season was awesome!!!!!

Add every non P5 good program. Gonzaga, St Marys?, VCU, Wich St... I am starting to get greedy the more UCONN seems like a bottom feeder

SLU would be fun. Great road trip, solid tradition, keeps us in two time zones.
