Oops - thanks Bear May - had e-mailed to my son before hitting copy I guess.

The question I have is if Butler (or anyone) leaves, do their NCAA tournament units go with them or stay with the league they were earned in?  Or is it up for negotiation?  And what are the terms for leaving the Horizon League.

One of the first thoughts I had was this would take the Horizon League to only 5 teams in baseball, one less than the NCAA minimum to maintain an automatic bid. (CSU dropped baseball after last season).  Wonder if that impacts any other sports?

ysuhoops24:
if they go, i think Oakland from the Summit would be the best fit to replace them.
