Let's go all the way to 16 teams. That brings more TV viewers which should bring more bargaining power for TV contracts. It also brings a higher probability of having at least one team be at or near the top of a given sport. If we add 5 teams I think they should be large schools with at least decent basketball programs. Ideally, their football teams would be good as well but, honestly, our basketball conference needs more help at this point. Having said that, how about adding George Mason, VCU, Ohio, UMass and ODU. That addition wouldn't be a huge help to basketball but it wouldn't hurt it either. It would add eyeballs and, hopefully, exposure. We need to start thinking in terms of making this conference better. Ideally we could steal some P5 teams but I don't think that is realistic.
