| Drake needs to get away from the directional/state universities and start a new conference with stronger academic standards and better men's basketball.
This is a conference that would make waiting for automatic NCAA bids worthwhile:
Drake
Creighton
Butler
Bradley
Evansville
Valparaiso
Dayton
Xavier
St. Louis
Keep Rice and Tulane in mind if they decide multi-million dollar football deficits are overwhelming, forcing them to drop football and withdraw from Conference USA. Although they're currently suffering hard times in basketball, they could make this a great baseball conference. And an excuse to roadtrip.
With either 9 or 11 members, there would be an equal number of conference games played home and away.
TV potential would improve, and there would be potential for football sponsorship (maybe with some associate members in that sport). |

| Dreamin', but that's OK. Throw in San Diego, if you want "road trip".
Give Evansville back to the Horizon and put in St. Louis would be fine with me.
Extra attention for the Valley tournaments would be a good thing.

| Yeah, but if it really is a global warming cycle, Iowa will soon be the new Florida. Our cigars will come from Missouri, and everyone will be flocking to the palm tree resorts in Lamoni.
