Lot all would seem to be the absolutely last thing that is relevant to this discussion. Now if it's confirmed that they are coming here, then it's a real discussion point, but in this case we aren't even putting the cart before the horse, we are loading the cart and we don't even own a horse.

Assuming no one leaves, what team joins with them?

I personally would be fine with all of the Football schools leaving and being replaced with non-football schools. In the long run that is the only way to build a basketball conference above the other mid-majors. If the Valley wasn't such a hodge podge of schools they might even be able to attract the good Midwest basketball schools who are playing way out of their geographical area.

Of those proposed to stay:
WSU has five appearances and nine wins

Drake has one appearance and zero wins
Loyola has zero appearances

So you're saying there isn't a difference?
Hmmmm.
