Cedar Falls, Iowa — Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson favors increased expansion by the Missouri Valley Conference.
The league will add Belmont University next season but is losing Loyola to the Atlantic-10.
Jacobson says increasing the number of conference games will help alleviate the difficulty of finding nonconference opponents. Valley teams are finding it increasingly difficult to get teams from larger conferences on the schedule.
Jacobson says expansion could help strengthen their schedule.
