The bottom of the A10 is unhelpable because their institutions are not committing the resources needed to improve. Scheduling won’t help. The best thing the A10 can do is establish standards that all programs must meet, and give a reasonable timeline for compliance. Schools that don’t meet the standard don’t get to stay in the conference.
I don’t even know if this is legally feasible, but if the conference has aspirations of continuing to get multiple bids to the NCAA at a time when the big 5 are playing keepout with the scheduling, we simply need better quality wins (and losses) within the conference.
