I was never a fan of adding schools like Wichita St and Tulsa. But if we're looking for compatibility, then surely the AAC looks more like UConn.

Geography is another matter.

First off, Cincy is definitely not a commuter school. It is a full fledged public university that does a lot of research as well. That description maybe applies more to Memphis.

The big concern with the BE is that the schools are about to endure a demographic time bomb. Most middle of the road private schools will be clinging for dear life very soon. If schools like Oberlin and Hampshire are hurting, you're going to see this happen all over the USA. You'll have hundreds of Benningtons popping up everywhere. Many will go under, like Hampshire is about to do.

Georgetown and Villanova will surely survive, while some of the others are going to get dinged badly.

UConn is more like Cincy, Temple, UCF, USF than it is like any BE school. Add Tulane and SMU and you're in good academic company, not to mention Navy. Memphis, East Carolina and Houston bring up the rear of this discussion, and of course we just shake our heads at Tulsa and Wichita St. Ugh.
