Bob, UD cannot even schedule one two-way contract with a BE member, let alone be invited to become a conference member. Therefore, my response to you is:
Many of us just do not appreciate the glorious gift of Atlantic 10 membership, and all that it provides. UD had a shot at six major programs thus far in the season, and managed one win. I am not sure playing them every game would help at this point; unless all games would be at the puffed-out $72 million hallway.

Thanks for the buzz kill Coach
I've presumed there is some politics at play with the BE not scheduling us- maybe fear of losing to a program they rejected...? UD is not a "bad loss" at this point.
But your main point is that we'd become the new BE doormat. Maybe I'm wearing my homer shades but I'd expect incremental recruitment improvement being there, along with being a more attractive coach destination. DePaul is messed up and we recruit the city better than they've been able to in recent years. I still want to be in the BE with our peers, but it's not without risk is it?
All that said, the A-10 is not a bad fall back position for many reason we would agree with.
