I truly hope it's four, but realistically think it will be two.

Oakland University will join The Horizon League and that's only addition. It makes sense for everyone. The Horizon League does very little to promote itself.

Although the HL has played with only 9 teams before, due to the climate of realignment this time around, I find it hard to believe that they will only add one school.

I definitely want one more than just school. I'd like a minimum of 10. However, I just have a bad feeling we will add Oakland and finish just there (which would still improve the conference).
Just haven't really heard much about any other schools that would make sense on their own. The Dakotas won't be headed to the Horizon League. Don't see Murray State and Belmont is a no. I'm still holding out hope on Northern Kentucky as the tenth team but I'm not sure if that was just born out of someone's idea (which I like) or actual reason for the rumor. I just don't know if LeCrone is that creative.

I actually don't get that feeling UICJohn. I think the HL will get at least one more team to join before the June 30 deadline. They are really keeping things hush hush, especially in light of what happened before with the UIC "all but a done deal" fiasco. It will be real interesting to see what indeed happens.
I've gone to the Murray State board and a lot of their fans want the MVC. They think coming to the HL would be a lateral move at best. Some of their fans actually believe that the OVC is catching up to the HL as well, so the fans are in no real rush to come to the HL.

I'll have to change my last statement. Because of the lateness in the academic year, expansion is, in all likelihood, done for the '13-'14 season.

So for the '13-'14 season, the Horizon League added just one team.
