The MVC is a one bid leauge with 2/3 teams in a great year.

They have a pretty good record of getting more than one team into the tourney on a consistent basis.

Joining that conference is a much better move then staying in the MVC.

Joining a conference where their closest confernce mate is 470 miles away and fighting 22 other teams for a bid is better than their current situation?

Again, not if they slpit the conference up like i already posted. They would be battling 11 teams and playing in a great confernce toury. A new Big East like i suggested would get 6-9 teams in the NCAA regularly. That is a much better scenario then hoping to get invited to the NCAA in the MVC.

They should cherry pick a couple from the A-10 and maybe Horizon League. Apparently these Big East basketball schools makes most of their money from their tourney appearances/games. If the're still a 5-6 bid league every year they'll be in a good situation but if they take everyone from the A-10 they're watering down their tourney money.
