So you'd prefer they schedule tougher, take some nice checks and go 3-8 in the non-conference further eroding the conference strength as a whole. I'm trying to point out that Bonaventure is not the problem with the A10.

Ideally you'll have 3-4 programs consistently competing for conf championships. The next tier are programs that have a modest floor (typically around .500 in down years) and cyclically compete for conference championships/post-season play. The problem with the A10 is they have too many programs that just bottom out and stay there. In the best-case scenario the bottom of the A10 would be reserved for programs that had bad luck with injury or suffered coaching changes. The bottom would churn towards the middle and the middle would churn towards the top. The top would generally stay there.

The number of bids the conference receives is heavily correlated to its non-conference winning percentage. Most A10 teams can't afford to buy as many home wins as Dayton and many of the teams in the BE et al do.
