What are the odds of Stony Brook and Siena joining the A10 in two years? I found it interesting that Fairfield wants to join the CAA.

wakefield

It make no sense to play Bryant every year because there is little room on our schedule when you take into consideration the A10 will have a 18 game season. I doubt URI fans have any interest in playing Bryant.

wow, no new news on Davidson joining the A10. I think if they do not join the A10 this is good news because they have peaked and are to far away. I would rather have Siena and might want to take a look at Towson (new arena). I can not think of any teams in CT, MA, and NJ. I would put Hofstra, Delawa...

I don't see why we can't. Apart from Steve Greenwell pushing for details about Baron's contract and 1yr extension a year ago, I don't know if any of the Projo guys have pushed for the University to disclose the full details of the contracts.

I hope it is not true that Davidson has volunteers coaching some of their sports teams. Then we have Siena which is spending 13 million to fix up a practice gym (this gym is used for women's sports).

What was RU thinking in only offering Dan between 800,000 and 900,000 with a five year length when the average Big Ten coach gets paid 1.7 Million. URI could offer him over a 1.1 million after we start winning again.

wakefield

How can Davidson afford joining the A10 on such a small budget? Cleveland State would be a better fit for the A10 and they are not that far from Duquesne/St. Bonaventure. I do understand the chance of Cleveland State wanting to join the A10 is small but it is worth a try. Maybe the league is holding...

What are the odds they end up with Skinner or the Lasalle coach?

It is about location and not quality. Dayton would not join a lesser conference which has one of the worst foot prints of all conferences.

If they haven't talked by now, they won't. The A10 is going to stay at 13 for next season, expecting St Louis to go BE at some point.

The new contract for the A10 gives them digital rights to games which are not picked up by their national network partners. They are working on a digital network and will have inventory for it.

Duquense would be a perfect fit for the Horizon and Fordham would be a perfect fit for the Caa. The A10 should only add no more than 3 more teams. Davidson, Siena, and a team between New Haven and GW.

If the Big East was going to add Siena they would do it before Siena got a new coach. The assumption of going to the A10 in 2-3 weeks is mostly likely helping them find the best coach possible.

I doubt Cleveland has plans on joining A10 based on what the head of Horizon has said in the past, and I think Cleveland is on the Horizon expansion committee.

There was a rumor that if Davidson joined they would want to join with the College of Charlestown. Once the tournament is over we find out who A10 will invite.

How about Hofstra or Fairfield?
Hoftstra's arena can sit 5,000 and Fairfield can play in the arena right off 95 in Bridgeport. It would be nice if Hofstra hired Skinner to replace their coach which just got fired.

I really gotta say though. I don't think this hurts URI as much as people are saying. We're going to be top dog in a league with less competition.
