I got the same impression…the strategy consultant was fairly direct in explaining why USF (they shouldn’t leave UCF on an island) and SMU (strong academics, high endowment and location) would be great expansion candidates.

There are two kinds of programs left:
Strong academic and good athletic: AFA and Navy
Strong academic and weak athletic: Tulane (AAU), Rice (AAU), USF, Temple, SMU, and Army

Phase 1 programs were strong athletic and good academic: BYU, UC, UCF, and UH

The order of the next 4 schools, in order, is Boise State, Memphis, SMU and South Florida. To say SMU is weak in athletics is rediculous - I believe they are the highest, and only, school on your list in current football Top 25. SMU has a good basketball program and very good in "country club" sports. SMU's endowment is probably as big as the other 3 schools combined - 2 weeks ago SMU kicked off a new $1.5 bil fund drive - already have $675 mil.
