No one is adding a team that only gets 1/2 their games or worse picked up by National TV Partners.

The only 4 MWC schools worth adding right now.

Fresno doesn't cut it academically even for the big 12, but the other 3 could be good.

Air Force is not a research school
Boise is a low tier 3 research
SDSU is a high tier 2 school
Fresno is a middle tier 2 school

The only reason SDSU isn't already R1 was because a clerk made an error on the application. SDSU did $164M in research last year, Oregon did $150M. Oregon is considered AAU though I don't know why they still hold that status.
