If you think Drake would be better off with a conference that includes the likes of Milwaukee, Valpo and Detroit why not simply join the Horizon League?

I only want the top 3, combined with the top one or two non-football playing schools from other midwest mid-majors, and whoever else want to hang around. There are enough basketball only mid-majors in the midwest to still make a good conference.
