I think I have a better chance with Heidi Klum than the HL has at getting Murray State. If they don't have an offer coming from the MVC, I disagree.

Agree with Parker. If the Valley has already told them no and the OVC is crumbling, what other options do they have? It’s a zero risk, high reward move. Hopefully Lach has already contacted them.
What’s also interesting is that the Valley was adamant about not expanding to 11 teams a few years ago. It was a “logistical nightmare”.

Alternatively, if Murray *does* get the MVC invite we should call USI... Maybe not as urgent, though I do fear whatever the hell the ASun has going on. If they get USI to go with Bellarmine and we can't poach those two, we could fall into a vulnerable spot like the OVC.

YUP! I will say that looking at the teams the ASun would need for its big crazy 20+team league & split idea it pitched last year it wouldn't really work for awhile. They'd need Kennesaw State (football) to stay with the non-football schools.

Hmm, if the AAC winds up desperate enough for Liberty that could throw a wrench in the ASun's crazy expansion plan. Feels like a few things need to happen first, but it's interesting.

Seems the AAC is going primarily for markets in replacing its departing schools...not sure that's actually panned out as the best strategy (though going for on-field product didn't exactly work for the AAC & ECU)
And on a local note for this NM resident: OOF! every Texas school except the western-most one from a conference that's in Florida and West Virginia. UTEP's on an island! That might end up working well for NMSU

We could be the new Conference USA. You think they'd let us buy the Great Midwest brand name?
