Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment

VCU to Join A10

May 14th, 2012 | By | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, CAA Expansion & Realignment, Featured News, NCAA Conference Expansion & Realignment

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. [...]



Butler to Join the A10

May 2nd, 2012 | By | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, Featured News, Horizon League Expansion & Realignment, NCAA Conference Expansion & Realignment

As expected, Butler is finally ready to join the Atlantic 10, to replace departing Temple who is headed to the Big East. Butler will join the A10 for the 2013-2014 season, which would be the first without Temple in the A10. The addition of Butler comes at a time when the conference has also considered adding [...]



CUSA to Add Charlotte & Old Dominion

May 1st, 2012 | By | 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 | 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 | 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 | Category: 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 [...]



Conference Realignment Hits The Brakes – Conference News Timeline of 9/20/11

Sep 19th, 2011 | By | Category: ACC Expansion & Realignment, Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, Big 12 Expansion & Realignment, Big East Expansion & Realignment, Editorial, Featured News, Pac-12 Expansion & Realignment

So the biggest news from yesterday is that the Pac-12 has opted to remain at 12. That alone will slow up any movement in other conferences. But it was quite an interesting day, with many twists and turns. To sum up the day, here’s a rough timeline of the conference realignment news: Timeline for Tuesday, [...]

Apr 19th, 2011 | By | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, Featured News, MAC Expansion & Realignment, NCAA Division Upgrades

New England will have a third FBS level football school, joining Boston College and UConn in the highest level of college football. Per MAC sources and reported on the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the MAC and UMass will hold a joint press conference on Wednesday to make the official announcement. The move has been expected for [...]



Majerus, St. Louis Not Happy in A10

Jan 22nd, 2010 | By | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, Featured News

My take is simple: if you have problems with your administration, don’t use the media…keep it behind the scenes. You can bet that Majerus would not be complaining about “east coast airports” if St. Louis were in the Big East instead of Marquette. The Billikens would still have to fly to 12 east coast cities [...]



A10 To Move HQ to Newport News

Aug 12th, 2009 | By | Category: Atlantic 10 Expansion & Realignment, Featured News, NCAA News

Interesting call. The league is leaving a city, Philadelphia, where it has 3 members for a city 75 miles away from it's closest member, Richmond.
