The following isn't going to happen, but it's an idea I've tossed around with friends at tailgates.
The new Irate 8 invite Memphis and Tulane into the league to return to a 10-team scenario. Everyone plays everyone else in football each year, home-home in basketball. Tournament still lives in Kansas City.
Why those schools? Both Memphis and New Orleans know how to show visitors a good time. Memphis is driveable for almost the entire fan base of the league. NOLA is a short flight from Iowa and Kansas, driveable from most of Texas and OK.
The CSJ staff would make a road trip to one of those cities every-dang-year if we could roll a football or basketball game into the package.
Merely a pipe dream, but a fun one to joke about.
