Takes a competitor away from NKU but not good for the Horizon as a whole.

I'm guessing Fort Wayne takes their place.

Anything can happen, but for the longest, the HL has been reluctant to invite the IUPUs. The League has quite a few potentials, but the process is beginning to drag on. I'd like for the League to think big and outside the box. Maybe, NMSU, GCU and Denver for starters to get the conference to 12.

Those are interesting names. Any chance HL has interest in OVC schools? Or would OVC (Belmont, Murray, Morehead, Peay) schools have HL interest?

Belmont has made it quite clear that they aren't interested. Murray State wants the MVC very badly. Morehead has financial issues, though I think they'd accept. The problem is that they don't fit the mold for the the Horizon right now.
