What about Northern Kentucky to the OVC? Would they find it more appealing than the Horizon?

Bad blood between NKU and OVC from 2011. NKU thought they were getting in then was denied for “competitive imbalance” or something similarly absurd.

Also the Horizon fits NKU’s urban/suburban profile better and is a better fit geographically.

WIU will be #11 because they need a FB school. They’ll gun for Bellarmine and Lipscomb, but those two probably decline. If that’s the case, #12 will be USI — new arena, city hosts OVC Tournament.

10 years is quite a while from the NKU/OVC rejection. With Murray State in there I'm sure that has to be some interest to at least listen.

Horizon is downright terrible these days and looks more like the Mid Continent than the old Midwest Collegiate, the one that once had Xavier and Notre Dame as members.

It is pretty ironic that the Horizon members nearly all migrated over from the Summit/Mid Con. While they centralized further east, that left the Dakota schools right in the lap of the Summit.
