We live in a metro area of 800,000 people with exactly two D1 college basketball teams, and they don't play each other. I dislike that.

I am not interested in a home and home series unless it is mutually beneficial for both sides, that is what real rivalries are made of, otherwise it is forced and artificial.
Unless some of the schools from the OVC, HL, and MVC all join the same league, such as the MVC adding WSU, NKU, Murray State, and Belmont, in order to try to become a multi-bid league, thus possibly elevating WSU to an at large contender, I do not see a h/h happening any time soon. Even putting Belmont and MSU into the HL might not be enough to create a multi-bid league.
The HL is too weak to create an at large team, and this isn't 10 years ago where you could try to schedule a tough ooc slate like Butler and then dominate the HL on your way to an at large. 20 game league schedules seem to have closed off that route: can not land enough good ooc games now.
