Valpo and Murray State are done deals from what I've heard, Valpo starting this year and Murray joining the year after. The league is content with 11 but could add a 12th in the future if somebody really invests. For example, UNO would have to nearly double their budget to get in line with the rest of the Valley (they spend $1.7 Million, UNI spends $3 Million). Milwaukee is interesting from possibilities and market perspective, but their administration is a mess.
Losing Wichita hurts but the Valley should remain a Top 12 RPI league with good years finishing 9th or 10th after the P6, A10 and AAC. The WCC, Mountain West, Valley and CAA are clearly that next tier...
