I'd go for St Joes and either GW or GM but I'm a sucker for local rivalries, and I understand why it's probobly more important to bring in SL and Dayton, and help bridge the gap to Ceighton.

Like local rivalries myself, but doubt Nova would like St. Joe's in the mix.

There is no way Nova or Gtown would allow those two.

If we allow St. Joe's into this conference we might as well change the name to the Mid-Major East. They haven't been relevant since 2004 when they had Jameer Nelson and Delonte West. There are about 20 better options than St. Joe's and no way.....NO WAY Villanova would ever let them in.
 
It's going to definitely be Dayton. The second team is more tricky because you don't want to pick just any team from the east for geographical purposes when the next best fit may actually be another Midwestern team.

The good news is that if it is two Midwestern teams in the next expansion, one of the closer ones get pushed to the Eastern Division -- Xavier or Dayton (or maybe Butler if they want the two Ohio schools to have a home and home every year). Wouldn't mind any of those schools twice a year.

I think St. Louis has a better shot for TV eyeballs alone.

Yeah it's about TV markets and St Louis is a pretty big market. The only bigger markets in the midwest and northeast not covered by the BE right now are Boston (Providence who?), Cleveland and Detroit but there's really no viable options in any of those cities.
 
I keep hearing Dayton and "a revolving door, take your pick". The only thing I would bet on is it will not be a Philly school which means it will probably be a Philly school
 
I would like to pick a west coast school, hopefully in LA. ;)

If we expand to 16 we can have Gonzaga, St. Mary's, BYU, and Pepperdine/LMU for Austour in one of the four four-team divisions.

Not just me, Traczok, OWCA, Dustsy J, Redmenwest, and I'm sure there's others. Most of these guys don't post much anymore but they'll show up for the road games!

I like what the Gonzaga's and St Mary's have been doing out there. It's kind of Big East light. I'd love one of those basketball nerds to do some type of equation study on how successful that conference has been. I think all the teams with the exception of BYU are catholic schools.
