They would have to play with 9 because I see one big catfight on the horizon for the remaining MVC schools...a fight that would make the Dems and Republicans in Washington look like compromising lovebirds.
The football driven publics, notable ILSU and UNI will want the Dakotas. The privates will want a Belmont. You could possibly go to 12 and try to appease both, but Belmont wasn't thrilled about sending the softball team to Cedar Falls before, they certainly wouldn't want to ship them to Fargo.
If there was a clear replacement, then they could possibly pull it off, but there isn't. For everyones sake though, if WSU does receive and accepts an invite, they need to get on with it for next season. Like a divorce, there really isn't any peace until someone actually moves out. Deciding to divorce, but continuing to share a bedroom isn't a good place for either party.
