Northern Ky is a member of the Horizon League. They left the Asun in 2015.

Thanks! I don't follow anything/any news related to the nightmare of the ASun.

While I'm neutral for the A-Sun in general, there are three teams that are current members of the conference that I would not mind scheduling. In no particular order:

1. Lipscomb. Mainly due to them being a team located in Tennessee itself. If scheduled as a road game, it would be a good excuse to plan a weekend in Nashville on the side.

2. Jacksonville Florida Dolphins. Mainly due to their legacy, especially their 1970 season. They did beat Arizona State in the 2010 NIT also recently.

3. Florida Gulf Coast. Only eligible for Division 1 action since 2011, they've already been dancing three times, may be four times later today, plus an NIT bid. Currently the only 15 seed in NCAA history that has ever advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. If given the chance, this is honestly a team I personally could see moving to a larger conference at some point.
