Any new member would have to add significant brand-building value to the league, Ackerman said, and geography, too, is another consideration.

Unfortunately for our A10 friends, this means no Dayton, VCU, or the Bonnies. No Gonzaga either. Pretty obvious it's uconn or stay pat.

We dont need them in the Big East.
BYU/Gonzaga would be a nice addition to the MWC

Her idea to make women's basketball better, because there's never any upsets, was to SHRINK the field. As if talented players would pick a more diverse group of schools if less schools got to hang NCAA banners.
The real culprit is that while WAY too many mediocre, 6th to now 9th place teams from big football schools are let into the MEN'S tourney at the expense of mid-majors who won a lot; the WOMEN'S tournament has ALWAYS had a more server problem with it. One year, Toledo went 27-3 and didn't get an at-large, and Kansas got in at 16-14. Which surprised the Kansas head coach, who went shopping instead of watching the Selection Show.
