    If/when the MW announces future additions beyond Hawaii (as a full member), NIU (football only), Davis and GCU, who else do you think would be a good addition or do you think the conference is set?

    I think the conference will likely be set for a little bit once we (presumably) move our football over as well. That being said, the name of the game appears to be expanding TV markets above geographic/regional logic, so for all I know they could be looking to add a Florida market.

    The more the better seems to be the formula that the power conferences have pursued. The Big Ten has 18 teams, the ACC has 17 and the SEC and the Big 12 each have 16 teams. The new PAC 12 is currently set to expand to 8 teams and they are most certainly looking for more.

    So, if the current MWC and the PAC 12 were combine, they would form a 19 team conference. Of course, Gonzaga and Grand Canyon do not have football, Northern Illinois is for football only currently and we don't know when the Aggies will formerly move to FBS. Adding Sac State would bring the conference to 20 teams total.

    There's little chance of this happening but it certainly would expand the footprint in the west!
