Dayton, VCU, Wichita State, UConn, Memphis, Cincinnati, SMU, Houston,
Temple
The top part of the conference is significantly higher profile than the A10. Those would be some awfully good home games at the arena. The bottom of the conference would be no worse than the bottom of the A10.
Sure there is risk that UConn and maybe UC get poached. Even without them, its roughly on par with the A10 (minus Dayton and VCU). If something could be negotiated where we wouldn't be terribly disadvantaged as second class citizens, I'd do it.
