And I would disagree with your statement that the BE hasn't had a season where 10 teams hasn't hurt the conference.
2013-14 season- St John's went 1-5 vs Villanova, Creighton, and Xavier- 0-3 on the road. If the league had 12 teams and instead of playing just 1 of those 3 road games, they had another game that they won, with how close they were- probably in the tourney.
2015-16 season- Marquette- went 1-5 vs Villanova, Butler, and Xavier- also 0-3 on the road. Same thing with them.

Definitely St John's as they were 1 of the 1st teams out of the tourney. Marquette in 2015-16 was probably 2 wins away.

I see you combining two issues into one argument, and the process is really two step. The first step is determining if adding school X (SLU, VCU, Gonzaga, Dayton, etc.) would bring a benefit to the league. That is a different question than would the league benefit school X. It is also a different question today than it was for BU, CU and XU during the formation of the current group. At this point, nobody available moves the needle for the league enough to get an invitation, making the second step irrelevant. That doesn't mean that there aren't quality schools or quality basketball programs available. It means that for whatever reason (public, football, location, quality of basketball) the fit is not there at this point in time. The fit may be there in the future, but not in April of 2017.

The second step involves altering the schedule to eliminate the RR, which may not happen at 11 but would at 12. I don't see this as an issue if school X gets past step one, nor as a reason to prevent an obvious fit from joining the conference. There just is no obvious fit in April of 2017.
