The worst thing we can do as a conference is take in a school like Dayton before all the FBS drama concludes. A viable school could be available but we would have already blown our load on a less successful Xavier.

Why the need to insult Xavier?

No reasons to go to divisions. Agree there. Also agree with the list of who is most likely to get an invite now, and that Davidson is rising-
Current Candidates -
1. Saint Louis
2. Dayton
3. Richmond
4. Davidson (Curry can carry their marketing for the next 10 years. Too bad he can't quadruple their enrollment...)
Having said that -
geographically and institutionally
Duquesne, Boston U, Northeastern, Fordham are all obvious fits. Its ridiculous the Big East doesnt have a team in Boston. Can't the Big East approach them with a godfather offer - spend 5 mill more per year on your bball program, hire a hot coach and top assistants, and we'll give you an invite? Itd be a little bit of a Rutgers to the B1G kinda move...
If I'm the A10, I backfill with BU and Northeastern. Loyola and Belmont may be interesting? Its not like they are swimming in candidates -

As a Gtown alum, my pet dream is getting NYU and Hopkins to go Div 1 in bball. Itd be decades in the future, but we'd have a hell of a league and an amazing alumni base.

If we were forced to invite someone, then the obvious 4-5, if we can wait 5 years, it'd b nice if a program from the bu group steps up.
I can think of a way our hand is forced-
If Dayton or vcu makes a national championship game a la butler, we need to seriously think about inviting them to maintain our position as the top bball only conference.
We r kinda screwed if Wichita st does the same thing, since I don't see us ever giving them an invite...
