I haven't run the numbers recently but the average D1 conference last time I calculated has 11 members in it. Just slightly above that now with Dixie St.

Going back to 10 would require 35, maybe 36 division 1 conferences.

With Title IX and the dropping of men's sports, its becoming harder to be an 8 or 9 team conference.

The Ivy is the only 8 school conference.
The American East, Atlantic Sun, Big West, Summit and WAC are the only 9 team conferences. And the Big West is on its way to 11. The ASun, Summitt and WAC are at the bottom of the food chain in their areas and are lucky to keep 8 or 9.

There are only 10 conferences with 10 teams.
