Throw out Dayton and St Louis now?
X and Butler are gone we know
Dayton and StL are working behind the scenes to be gone next year. Its not good for the remaining schools to be stuck with these two actively trying to get out and preventing the A10 from solidifying the conference and moving on. Anyway to force them out now and go get replacements? Dealing with all this defection talk and lame duck teams for a whole year is just draining the conference and its bad PR, hurts recruting. Cut the cancer out now and be done with it. |

The Atlantic 10 Charter does not have a provision for the involuntary removal of a member school. If there had been such a provision, it would have been used by now. But fortunately for Fordham . . .

We've lived with the likes of Fordham, Duquesne, and LaSalle not contributing a thing to the A-10 since 1995 but, seemingly, it's okay to consistently give them a healthy slice of the A-10 pie that others have baked. Did it ever occur to you that SLU and/or UD could earn a slot in the NCAA Tourney next year and add considerably to the A-10 riches that will be divided up over the following years? Without having to contend with Temple, Butler, Xavier (and maybe Richmond or VCU), programs like UD and SLU would be even more likely to enjoy great success in the Conference and earn trips to the Big Show. By getting rid of them (which, historically, the A-10 is unlikely to do), the League would be cutting its nose off to spite its face. It would greatly reduce the respectability of the League and make it more difficult for remaining members to get an at-large berth in the NCAA Tourney. Cancer indeed!!!

I just want the team I support to be in a stronger conference. I'd prefer it to be a stronger A-10! To me that would mean every member would have at least 2 trips to the NCAA Tourney and 5 winning seasons during each 10-year cycle. It would also be great for every program to seriously challenge for a league title (either regular season or Tourney) at least once during that same period of time. |

If the Atlantic 10 Charter did have a provision for the involuntary removal of a member school, Fordham would not have been the only school to get the boot: Final RPI Rankings: 2002-03 through 2011-12 (compiled by 434) Code:

Re: Throw out Dayton and St Louis now?
Keep 'em. SLU will likely be pretty good which will boost our resumes. Dayton will be fun to have around and ultimately not do anything of importance yet again.

Re: Throw out Dayton and St Louis now?
Take the thread for what it's worth - a disgruntled Saint Joe's fan who simply wants the Hawks to have the easiest path possible to an NCAA Tournament bid year after year. The only reason the Hawks haven't gotten more heat on this board is because their troll fans have just enough sense not to make themselves heard on here.
This year at least, the heat for Martelli is justified. I'm amazed that Guster hasn't celebrated more often on here. |
