Conference Expansion: Analyzing Which Schools Could End Up Joining the ACC?

I saw a familiar conversation recently that sparked my interest in revisiting the elusive, complicated topic that is modern conference expansion. The news was that Wichita State, for fear of being left on the outside looking in when the last domino inevitably drops, was officially accepting an invite to the desperate to be relevant AAC as of last week. After all, how can you blame them? Despite finishing the regular season 30-4 and #8 in Kenpom this season, the MVC champion was dealt a 10 seed and brutal 2^nd round matchup with Kentucky in the West region of the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
