They need to move on from the MW if they want to be relevant. There are

no more regional teams that bring them any media value. They should pick up Memphis, USF, East Carolina, and look at other public institutions that have made investments in their programs over the year. Attendance and fan engagement in larger markets should be their focus. They should stay away from the privates as long as the ACC stays intact. No conference needs to be in the Bay area.

I'm assuming Memphis and Tulane will make the eight.

Given the Pac's interest to expand east, it will be interesting to see how

East Carolina and Fresno State in the past several decades are top home
