The good news is that we get one more year of POY Fernando Fischer, though we'll lose both of our glass-eating big men at Chicago State. Super curious to see how recruiting went for both programs, it's going to be the real factor for how much better the next couple of seasons will be. A tournament appearance was not in my wildest imagination for Chi State.
While a 1-bid league would make it hard to make the tournament as an at-large someday, trying to get into the tournament as an independent is especially difficult unless you win a lot of games every year, but I don't think it's realistic that they'll win 20-games every year even if we schedule really easy as we did this past year.
As far as conference options, the Continental Divide Conference only has 10-teams and I'd prefer it would have 11 or 12. The Southland Conference which I sort of abhor on principle (I got rid of it, made most of those programs independents for a while, but finally gave them their auto-bid back this year) makes zero geographic sense but would be a landing spot too. This program had previously been in the WAC, Summit and Horizon League at different stretches too, so we're not going to revisit those right now, though the latter two would obviously present more regionally appropriate rivalry options each year and would maybe just be more interesting.
We're going to move Chicago State to the CDC for next season, along with fellow indie program NW Missouri State as a travel partner.
Other conference changes that don't matter:
Quote:
Minnesota Duluth & St. Cloud State to the MAC from the Summit League
Wayne State from the MAC to the Summit League
Merchant Marine Academy from the MAC to Independent
Chaminade from the Big West to the WCC
UT Arlington from the Sun Belt to the Southland
MIT from the UAA to the Ivy League
