OVC Conference Expansion
I'm not sure if the OVC would be willing to take EKU back with the ongoing lawsuit, or even Austin Peay for that matter. Would Central Arkansas and North Alabama be valuable adds? What about Lipscomb in basketball?

Not sure UNA would apply to join a conference that has already rejected them once.

Swapping one’s pride is hard, but bringing in/back the ASUN’s 4 football programs makes a lot of sense.

APU
Tenn St
Tenn Tech
Tenn Martin
EKU
EIU
Lindenwood
SE MO St
UCA
USI*
Moorehead St*

UALR*

UCA would seem an obvious add. In the middle of the footprint and an in state rival to UALR.

There is only 1 o in the OVC Morehead St.

EKU is in the midst of a lawsuit with the OVC.
UNA didn't snub the OVC. It was the other way around.
Last I saw TSU was looking to leave.

Would love to add UCA. I think they would clear fit better, at least geographically, i the OVC. Would they abandon the ASun after a couple of years? No idea. But, for the most part schools do what is best for them.

Apparently UCA talked to the Conference USA about joining, according to a recent thread by DavidSt.

CUSA is kicking the tires on a bunch of schools. Not necessarily planning to expand at this time but looking to be ready in case the realignment carousel starts to move again.

EKU presented to CUSA at their conference basketball tournament.
