It'll be interesting to see what team gets in. Army and Navy have to be considered dark horses. It's got nothing to do with success at this point, it's mostly about survival if they were raided again. But given they announced they'd only be adding two football members, it makes you think they're just going to pursue schools that'll only join the league for football even though it goes against most of the conventional wisdom of the day. That would rule out TCU, who'd probably bolt the league in the long-term anyway once a more geographically sound option revealed itself (hello Big 12)

You'd have to think that this is just formalizing TCU's invite. Boy, the MWC can't take two steps forward without being attacked from either side of the coast. That'd bring them back to a nine-team league. I wonder what they'd do, if anything, to rectify that.

Aurora is broke, but it's far enough away that they'd draw well and it'd work for those folks far enough out that don't want the make the trek to the city for games. After living there for a year, it always felt like Chicago's Jersey to me and would be able to support the right team in the right spot, but who knows what that'd be. Not hockey, though.
