Developing another new BB only conference is a stretch at this point and the results of such an effort are an unknown. Being a dominate force in the A-10 would help our cause in the short (and maybe long) term, but except for a couple years under AM we have failed to be that force year in and year out. Question from a "so conservative" thinker, What is the worst case scenario you speak of ?

Joining the AAC and 4 teams teams leave. Keep in mind I'm assuming UD would not be joining solo, they'd be taking SLU or VCU with them. I'd say the big east expanding and taking two a10 members and not dayton is more likely to happen than the top 4 teams leaving the AAC.


It's all hypothetical, I just don't see dayton leaving and it ending up much worse than the current a10 no matter how things shake out.
