Oct 24, 2012 at 19:10 comment added Gerhard Paseman Although nowhere near as nice as the lower bound argument used by Kevin Costello, one can use small cases to get that the lower bound for n > 4 is bigger than 7n/4 just to get 5 or more sets of size n to have "small" intersections. Such observations build my faith in Kevin's conclusion. Gerhard "Ask Me About Small Examples" Paseman, 2012.10.24
Oct 24, 2012 at 5:22 comment added Gerhard Paseman Running through small test cases in my head leads me to think that 2n for n odd and 2n-1 for n even is how it will turn out. Gerhard "Leaving The Proof To Others" Paseman, 2012.10.23
