Something's going to have to give, either to keep Archie or to make the place more attractive to higher level recruits and future coaches. The A10 serves us well enough at the moment, but you've got teams that play in darn near HS sized gyms (small ones at that), a school that can't even fill their HC position, a lot of turnover in other HC positions in the league, poor tv deal/money, teams that honestly don't care all that much about basketball, etc. This is not a good situation to be in. We need to be out of the A10 in 3 years or less, unless the A10 is able to bring in some other great programs and make a better TV deal. That is, of course, assuming another opportunity fails to materialize.
Don't get me wrong. The Flyers can be a big fish in this pond, but only for so long.
