For the thread's sake, I will play along. But I had to change the categories, because your system does not allow for a lot of important numbers, namely 19,500, 16,500, 12,500, or 9,500.

Less than 40K by the next decade. none
For basketball...
19K plus by the next decade? Syracuse, Louisville, BYU (they have a huge stadium, and playing BE teams would start to fill it more)
16k -19K by the next decade? Marquette
13k - 16K by the next decade? West Virginia
10k - 13K by the next decade? Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Nova*
7k - 10K by the next decade? ECU, Notre Dame, DePaul*, St. Johns,* Gtown*
Less than 7K by the next decade? Rutgers, USF, TCU
*Special category - As Omni said, there are some schools that are hard to classify. Namely Nova, G'Town, St. Johns, DePaul - their attendance historically has directly correlated with wins and losses. If winning, all can average up to 13,000, except DePaul who caps out at about 11-12k, and Nova in years when Philly hosts the NCAA tournament, and they can only play three games at Wells Fargo, who caps out lower as well
