With Temple, Memphis, SMU, Houston, and others and a couple of good additions, it would be an excellent conference (and better than the A-10) even if UC and UConn leave. If they don't leave it would be a great conference. But I'm afraid the UD administration wouldn't go for it. They probably wouldn't consider the institutions similar enough.
Both leagues are a collection of public and private schools with no real common thread amongst them. Obviously the A-10 has quite a few other Catholic schools, but are these schools really our peers? Other than SLU, Duquesne, and maybe Fordham, I'd argue no. Many of the schools in the AAC are large, national universities with strong reputations. Isn't that what we're striving to be? I don't think it's an institutional stretch, especially the league with our true institutional peers has no interest in us.
