The Missouri Valley Conference once was a multi-bid league, but has probably seen it’s best days in the rearview. If a team does step up it seems like the Big East, AAC, and Atlantic 10 will be there to take that program as they have. It’s a strong regionally sensible conference but one that seems to have a ceiling on how good it can become at this point.
