UNA and KSU are under contract for their transition. They are off the table for the next 3-5 years.

Lipscomb would simply be for a 12th in basketball. Iit's more likely the OVC moves to a 20 game schedule. A big theme we are seeing in mid majors is wanting a 10th conference home game as a result of the difficulty in scheduling quality OOC opponents these days. This is about the only way to incrementally increase revenue.

AFAIK the OVC has no expansion plans. And it is far too late in the year to get a replacement for next year. We are talking 2018-19 at the earliest to add anyone, which means they might as well be deliberate. And I think they will be, as losing Murray State will rattle them. They have to get everybody on board for the next direction. That is why I think the repsonse will be to go to 20 game schedule, and possibly move the conference tournament back on campus.
