And let's face it, Fox (after approval from the President's) will decide who would join anyway. It's all about the money and they will have to cough it up if they want to expand.

You would support WSU, not VCU because of fan support? VCU has had the most fans in the A10 tournament (yes beating out the vaunted Dayton fans - even though they were there #2 seed) since joining the league each year. VCU has shown it will travel to New York, it is on the East Coast and is higher rated academically (#157, in the same range as SJU).
Not supporting coaching changes? VCU has made the right hire 3 times straight (Capel, Grant, Smart) each time the candidate had no head coaching experience. VCU is completing a $25 million practice facility in September, and by far carries the Richmond market (University of Richmond offers "buy one get one free" tickets, VCU has sold out 66 straight games - since before the Final Four).
If people think Dayton fans are annoying on here, wait until Wichita St. Fans show up.

Had we not collapsed in the NCAA, we would've been much closer to that goal. But it was still a net positive. Most schools seem to be a positive trajectory with maybe Creighton being the only question mark. B12 had a bad NCAA tourney but no-one is going to realistically question their pedigree. We need to aim for that same stature.
