Bradley Conference Realignment

The thing about the MVC is Bradley is smack dab in the middle of the conference and has low travel costs. Moving to the A10 would increase TV revenue and maybe NCAA payout revenue since they do get a 2nd bid more often even though it isn't a regular occurrence. But does the extra revenue cover the increased travel expenses that require flying to every place but SLU, Loyola, and Dayton? That's the question.

Idk if the A10 would really be worth it. Maybe not. However the BIGEast obviously would be if there was ever a longshot at that.
 
Sorry... all this talk is superfluous. We have to wait til the Power 5 make their move against the NCAA. Separation is inevitable. Once that happens and we see which side programs fall on... then conference realignment for Bradley and the MVC will make much more sense.
