We are good travel partners for TxSt and AState. We are both decent in men’s basketball and LR is probably the best women’s BB program in the league,

Someone did propose adding Southern Miss and Marshall, and keeping LR/UTA and ultimately having 12 for football and 14 for all sports and that's an interesting proposition to me (I haven't looked into the viability of it though).

I would be fine with that. Although the Valley certainly has some upsides, I'd rather our teams avoid fly/driving into snow storms all winter. Although a "southern" division with UTA, Belmont, Murray State, MoState, and SIU wouldn't be bad at all.
