I don't think either of those two will challenge for the 1AA playoffs... :p

Not this year anyway ;)

... as football teams quietly move out of the a-10, the basketball teams "are a comin' ". Clearly a move to force additional NCAA selections, as the A-10 already did in football. I hope they (the NCAA) does not fall for it. I also do not think the conference will be 14-teams very much longer.

[saint0917]

I still think the A-10 should try to keep football.

Umass
UNH
Maine
URI
add Duquesne
add LaSalle
add Fordham, they would have to add scholarships, and if they didn't kicked them out and they can become a full member in the PL

And in the furure have North Carolina at Charlotte and Saint Louis add football. This way we add a new Conference CAA, and we keep the A-10. Just my opinion.

add Fordham, they would have to add scholarships, and if they didn't kicked them out and they can become a full member in the PL

Please? Pretty please? Now I'm hoping for the A-10 to do just that...

The following is a much more likely football alliance in the future than that ghastly list you provided.....

Maine
UNH
UMass
URI
Albany
Stony Brook

Probably won't happen, but much more realistic.

St Louis in the Atlantic 10???

I like Fordham there a good team, but, there a better fit for the PL than the A-10.

"ghastly List" :confused: Let me educate you my son, Duquesne, and LaSalle are already members of the A-10, so it would be MORE "realistic" for them to join the A-10 football conference than Albany or Stony Brook. And you could add Dayton to the A-10 football list too.

A-10 Conference if we still had football :(

Umass
Maine
UNH
URI
LaSalle
Duquesne
Dayton
Fordham, if they add scholarships
North Carolina at Charlotte and Saint Louis would have to add football.

FAR more realistic :nod:

The football A-10 has little if anything to do with the rest of the A-10. The addition of these two schools was related to the olympic sports of the A-10, and not the football side of things. It's not really applicable to this message board to be honest....

You guys kicking Richmond out of the A-10?

There in the CAA

Who do you mean by you guys? Currently no one is talking about Kicking anyone out of anything.

Richmond's an A-10 member for all other sports, so if you're talking about reforming the A-10 conference for football, of course UR would be included. On the other hand, the Spiders are going to stick with W&M and go where they go, which now means the CAA for football. Although I'd imagine it'd be an interesting situation (assuming the A-10 were reformed) if they were A-10 for all sports except football, where they were a member of a conference they (apparently) had a bad break from several years ago.

St Louis in the Atlantic 10???

Yes, apparently there was lot's of coastal erosion along the Eastern seaboard :D :cool: ;) :lmao: :bow: :rotateh: xlolx xprost2x :beerchug: :read: :hurray: :hyped: :smiley_wi

Keep an eye on Fordham basketball this year. The Rams are at least NIT bound this year, and the program is on the ascent.
