The Big East, comprised of the (7) non-football members of the current Big East, have added Xavier, Butler and Creighton to form a 10 member base. The 3 schools will provide high powered programs to the conference, with an argument to be made that the 3 schools are better than more than half of the [...]

As has been expected for the past month, VCU will announce as soon as this week that they will be joining the A10 as it’s 14th member. The A10 had been in discussions with Butler, VCU and GMU for some time. When Temple left for the Big East, Butler was first tabbed as a replacement. [...]

CUSA to Add Charlotte & Old Dominion

May 1st, 2012 | By Matt Peloquin | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, CAA Expansion & Realignment, Conference USA Expansion & Realignment, Featured News, NCAA Conference Expansion & Realignment

Conference USA continues to stockpile schools. It’s hard to imagine that just a few weeks ago, a merger with the Mountain West, combining the 8 MWC schools with the 8 CUSA schools was on the table. CUSA has taken their expansion a step further, going beyond the 12 school total they were set to have [...]

Report: George Mason & VCU to Join Atlantic 10 on May 1, 2012

Apr 20th, 2012 | By Matt Peloquin | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, CAA Expansion & Realignment, Featured News, NCAA Conference Expansion & Realignment

When the Atlantic 10 learned it has lost it’s keystone program, Temple, to the Big East, in 2013, the conference knew it needed to do something bold to replace them. But sometimes, when losing a school of so much importance, a single addition isn’t enough. So what’s better than adding Butler, a 2 year final [...]

A Look at CAA Realignment

Apr 4th, 2012 | By Matt Peloquin | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, CAA Expansion & Realignment, NCAA Conference Expansion & Realignment

In recent weeks, we’ve seen all sorts of CAA realignment action hitting the public. But maybe “action” is too strong a word as it’s been more of a political spin game. First we had news that Georgia St. was on the Sun Belt radar…which then turned into “the Sun Belt had agreed to a vote [...]

Temple to Big East for All-Sports

Mar 7th, 2012 | By Matt Peloquin | Category: American Athletic Conference Expansion & Realignment, Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, Big East Expansion & Realignment, Featured News, MAC Expansion & Realignment, NCAA Conference Expansion & Realignment

You can go home again. And in more desperate times for the Big East, Temple was able to get something they couldn’t in the past: all-sports membership. Temple had been part of the Big East discussions ever since the defections of Syracuse and Pitt. But when the Big East opted for UCF, Houston and SMU [...]
