This is an interesting question.

A 10 team conference with UAB, WKU, MTSU, Charlotte, ODU would be attractive for basketball, especially in a smaller 8-10 team format where it was double round robin.

App State has a very good FB team and that is something ESPN would like to put on TV ala Boise St.

Marshall has great fans and should be included on that basis alone for a new conference. I sense there is some fear they may be left out and have to go back to the MAC but I doubt it.

A basketball centric conference with some emphasis on football would be intriguing.

My set up for that would be a core of
Charlotte
ODU
WKU
MTSU
UAB
Ga State

with JMU, App, Marshall, and Ga Southern there for football and numbers

I would offer FIU and FAU football affiliate membership if they were interested
