Horizon League to add 10th member
Penguin Nation:
From the Vindy:
"The Horizon League is planning to add a 10th member, Wright State athletics director Bob Grant said Friday, according to WSU’s school newspaper, The Guardian.
The member will be within busing distance of Dayton and will be announced by the end of May, Grant said. The most obvious choice is Atlantic Sun-member Northern Kentucky, which is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati and has shown interest in joining the Horizon League for several years. Belmont, which is located in Nashville, Tenn., is a member of the Horizon in soccer only.
The league has lost Butler and Loyola in the last three years and added Oakland before the 2013-14 school year."

FWIW, YSU MBB beat NKU 78-74 on NY Eve. We were their only HL opponent.
YSUGO:
Don't see what that would do to make the Horizon Better. Since we lost Butler the league has become mediocre.
Penguin Nation:
Likely would bring the league RPI down in MBB. The Atlantic Sun has an RPI of 30 compared to 16 for the HL.
In WBB, the Atlantic Sun actually has a higher RPI than the HL....a downgrade for NKU.

This makes the conference worse.
