A case could be made for St. Louis or Loyola if adding tv markets matters for hoops contracts. Though the future of that is uncertain. You could find reasons for buying their stock. But my gut would be that they would probably end up being more mouths to feed. It's a big drop off from the three mentioned earlier based on sustained success.

Now I could see that changing if the purpose of adding Loyola and St. Louis was to split into east and west divisions and give Gonzaga/St. Mary's shorter flights. Gonzaga is probably worth making that accommodation.

It's significantly harder to see the value of Duquesne.
