With all due respect, this talk of expansion is nonsense right now.
I'm sorry, but discussing wether or not James Madison, Delaware, ISU, UMASS, etc...would join our conference is extremely premature and wishful thinking.
It's no different than building an addition to your house before you address the water leak in your foundation.
Frankly, our conference would probably get turned down IF we were to invite other schools as all sports members.
We need to work on becoming a much stronger bball conference. Once that happens, our stability will be desirable and a move to the MAC won't necessarily be a "downgrade" to others. Until that happens, I don't see anyone wanting to join us with open arms.
