Let's all join a conference with shittier name recognition and to play Dayton and Richmond more often! Wooo!

Far more likely that they just drop football before the new football schools get voting rights.

The A10 is dreaming.

They're more likely to have the seven Big East hoop schools pull schools out of their conference than they are pulling those schools in.

Part of me is rooting for this to happen. The sadistic part. Or is that masochistic?

Somewhere UMass is having a wet dream...as they want to play more "big games"

The bottom half of the A10 made this move because they are about 4 losses from being the MAAC.

I think the Catholics are thinking bigger than the A 10. Not B1GGER, but just plain bigger.

For UConn, it needs to be on the same sheet of music with these schools at the moment.

See ... here's the thing:

Many on this board a decade ago (actually a little less) thought the BE should have had the foresight to move on the ACC. RULE #1 should be: who can put together the best financial package. A-10, with their puny little TV contract, is going to be killed if Aresco puts together the right grouping of Basketball playing teams.

And ... bet that a Xavier, Cincinnati & Dayton won't all be in that. And Richmond & Virginia Commonwealth. And I would eliminate a Seton Hall (just a pet peeve).
