Because I think a 7-team HHC would be beneficial for all members. Assuming all schools would now play a 6-conference game season, it would open up a spot for more relevant rivalries. Seymour and JC could keep Madison on their schedule without hassle; Jeff, NA, and Floyd could play Louisville schools/Providence; East could pick up Cathedral; BNL could keep Terre Haute South on the schedule, or replace them with BHSS/Mitchell. 7-team conferences have the flexibility that 8-team conferences don't have.
