It's tough to do with travel partners if you only add one team. Realistically, and sadly, the best way would be to add six! teams at once: UConn, Dayton, Gonzaga, St. Mary's, Wichita State, and University of San Francisco (or another west coast school of our liking). That would leave every school with at least one geographic rival. In the east, you'd have Georgetown, Providence, St. Johns, Villanova, UConn, Seton Hall, Xavier, and Dayton. (Everyone of the first six schools is near the other five, and Xavier and Dayton make sense as geographic rivals.) Out west you'd have Gonzaga, St. Mary's, USF, Creighton, Wichita State, Butler, DePaul, and Marquette. There you'd have Butler, DePaul, and Marquette each relatively close to one another, you'd have Creighton as a natural rival of Wichita State, and out west you'd have three schools that have been playing eachother (and an opportunity to tap the San Francisco market. With Two Sets of 8, you'd play a home and home within your division for a total of 14 games, and then six of the other schools (3 home, 3 away) however our TV partners see fit. Do we do travel partners now?

Eff UConn. Let 'em twist. I hope they end up forming a 2 team conference with Boston College playing at a previously agreed upon YMCA or HS gym playing to 4 die-hard parents for the title of second least relevant.

As much as I detest UCONNvict I relish the opportunity to beat them twice a year and again in the BET. Their fans are the most obnoxious (yes, worse than SUcks). Plus either Hartford or Storrs are nearby and easy to get to. Make them pay a yuge entry fee.
