There also is a school I had never heard of until this past week,
Presbyterian U.
There also are schools like Wake Forest, but its already in a prestige
conference.
Same with Boston College.
The ideal would be independents / orphans -or- schools in conferences
that are not
top tier. Not necessarily, but if possible. Some hypothetical additions :
Catholic : Fordham --football program is separate from Atlantic
Conference ( Patriot League )
Chaminade ( Hawaii ) basketball
:
Non-denominational Evangelical : Azusa Pacific
" " " Biola ( basketball,
no football )
Baptist University of Richmond (
strong athletic program )
Missouri Synod Lutheran / Neb. Concordia U ( basketball )
Maybe a couple of these are division III, in which case, as you indicated,
not viable.
All told, though, could be a worthwhile conference.
It would be nice if Naropa University at least had a basketball program,
but they
don't seem to have any sports per se except maybe such things as running,
fitness,
and maybe swimming.

There are others down here, but they seem to be Division III
(non-scholarship).

Dream conference for religion fanatics
With talk now current ( again ) of a bust up of the Big 12, Texas /Texas
Tech / Okla / Okla State
supposedly headed for the Pac 12, aka Pac 16, there is a rare opportunity
for something
needed and long overdue in college sports, a religion sports conference.
After all , what is to become of Texas Christian and Baylor Baptist ?
Plus there is BYU,
currently an orphan and an independent. Moreover, SMU is seeking better
things now that
its rebuilding program is well under way.
Here's the plan :
TCU
BYU
SMU
Baylor
Notre Dame
As the nucleus for a religion conference.this would seem to have real
potential.
Might add Pacific Lutheran if it builds its football program, and Liberty
Baptist
might be another good bet. In the basketball realm there also is Gonzaga (
Catholic ),
Brandeis ( Jewish ), and Valparaiso ( Lutheran ), among others.
Modest suggestion for today
