Would have been very interesting. But the MCC was still a single-bid conference then (1st at-large invite in 1989). The MVC was regularly getting 2 and 3 teams. The hey-day of Tulsa, Wichita State and Bradley, with Illinois State also very good.

MCC was also adding Marquette and Dayton at that time as well. With eyes on DePaul and Notre Dame. That's the big what if in my mind. Get all of the big Midwestern private colleges in one conference, wonder how it would have been.
