As I ponder South Florida, I think it's time for a west coast conference to challenge the SUNSET Conference dominance after all of these years. With UC Santa Cruz as an independent and ASU Poly recently joining as an independent, those two should be in a conference. Going to find some western schools from California and such to form a new league called the Continental Divide Conference.
There are currently 46 auto-bids to the NCAA tournament, with last year's addition of the Penn State Athletic Conference, so a new league would make that 47, leaving 21 at-large bids. So long as your SOS is high though, with a solid record, you can qualify for the Big Dance, as there is a relatively wide gulf between good and bad in a league like this.
