While most of you have advocated for St. Thomas, I've thrown my lot behind Bellarmine from the beginning of this thread. So for me, if/when the Valley decides to expand, the Knights would be my choice for Number 13.

Louisville makes a lot of geographical sense too. Right in between Murray, Belmont, and Evansville.

Big fan of Bellarmine, I think it’s stupid that they’re ineligible for postseason play. You’re either in DI or you’re not, this adjustment period isn’t fair to them. They would be cool to have.

Louisville would be a pipe dream. They have history in The Valley (‘63-‘75) but the elephant in the room is the same as Tulsa. Football. If the whole G-5 FCS merger against the P5 thing happens, we might be able to nab Tulsa (assuming the MVCFC is brought along), but Louisville has been ranked in the T25 and is a member of a P5 conference. A crap P5 conference (said as a Notre Dame fan), but a P5 conference nonetheless.

SalukiFan was talking about Louisville as a market (Bellarmine is in Louisville), not University of Louisville.
