Add Gonzaga to the mix and include Olympic sports - to make it work for the football invitees.
A western grouping of SDSU, Boise, BYU, CSU, AFA, and Gonzaga would work.
There would be little change to Cincinnati's football and basketball schedules, but a huge shot in the arm to the conference. The revised schedules might look like this:
Football: at UConn, Tulane, at Temple, at
Colorado St., Navy, USF, at UCF, ECU
Switch out the SMU road game for at Colorado St.
Basketball: Tulane, @ECU, @Tulsa, UConn, USF, @Wichita,
Gonzaga, @Temple, SMU, @Memphis,
@BYU, Wichita, UCF, @UConn, @SMU, Memphis, @UCF, Houston
Switch out the home game against Tulsa and road game at Houston for a home game against Gonzaga and road game at BYU. The newbies would play the majority of their conference schedules amongst each other, but provide solid strength to the image, perception, and rankings for the conference.
