On average over the last 20 years where does URI rank in the A10? Middle third?
Has the A10 seriously considered dropping members?
Has the A10 ever established more rigid standards for remaining a member?
I ask these questions because I don't believe that MOST member schools want changes. From time to time, a member will find a better opportunity and leave. So. if you are unhappy with the A10, make URI an appealing addition for a better conference.
Yes, URI should put themselves in a position for if and when a stronger conference calls....at the same time, the A10 should put themselves and their schools in a stronger position so that no one wants to leave if someone else comes calling.
To answer your first question, I don't think anyone left for a weaker conference. There was talk of LaSalle moving to the Patriot league a few years ago, but nothing came of it.
Here’s a question for the group…What better, stronger conference or conferences are out there to join or would come calling?
Take the P5 conferences off the list because Rhody is not and never will be a P5 football school (in my lifetime, anyway).
The new Big East? I don’t see that happening. Unless, Maybe if we become the Gonzaga of the East, the NBE will give us a sniff? Likely, a no. What is the benefit to the NBE? You all can argue that one because I’ll gone by then.
The WCC? Again, I don’t see it due to extensive travel, lack of rivals, etc.
The AAC? Doesn’t make sense. Too many football schools and too many football schools looking to go P5. Who know’s if the conference even survives.
So to me, it makes more sense to make the A10 better for the near term (3-7 years). If the A10 can’t get stronger, then Rhody and the better A10 bb schools look to form a new conference with some better programs from another conference or other conferences, as a back up plan.
In present day college basketball, I just don’t see any stronger conferences that are options beyond the ones I referenced above. Please let me know if I missed any.

Just be the best mid major basketball conference year in and year out. That’s an achievable goal and is a perfectly fine place to be in the current landscape. We are never getting a P6 invite.

Form one that excludes football. Also, travel cost is an excuse not a reason. Bryant joined the Southern Conference for football as an example. Get together 9 schools who will commit to high standards for athletic excellence. Play a 16 game home/away conference schedule in most sports.

If you go back and re-read the whole post, it was “extreme travel” that I posted and it was only in relation to the WCC - which is on the other side of the country.
Also, I don’t see where Bryant football is an equal comparison. Bryant football plays eleven(?) games (with at least 5 at home) compared to Rhody basketball where they play 31 (with 13-15 home max). The amount of travel isn’t comparable and certainly not comparable IF (hypothetically) Rhody was to play half its conference games against teams in the WCC on the west coast.
That said, is your counterpoint that it is a valid option for Rhody to join the WCC because Bryant joined the Southern Conference for football?

Re: A10 Outlook for 2022-23
First, travel for a football team involves at least twice the number of players plus much more equipment than say a basketball team.
Second, I said form a new conference not join the WCC. I envisioned a high quality conference that would do well enough financially that travel would not be a major issue.

VCU currently has a #34 national recruiting/transfer overall ranking, highest in the A10.
All their 13 scholarships filled.
https://www.a10talk.com/meet-the-newcom ... 23-roster/
Probably put them at #3 in the A10 behind SLU and Dayton for 22-23.
Actually GM, Richmond (if Burton returns), and Davidson can all compete for 3-6.
UMass and Loyola/Chicago may not be far behind.

I think BK is just trying to get the word out to donate. He's anticipating the question from PC fans, "why would I want URI season tickets" and giving them an answer, though I'd prefer that he'd write, "Go to the one game and sell or donate the rest."
Bleed Keaney Blue!

St Bonaventure also has another metro NYC one off neutral site game. In addition to playing Iona at Barclays in Brooklyn, they will play Notre Dame at the new UBS Arena in Elmont next to Belmont Downs. UBS is the new home of the hockey Islanders. These games are good for the Bonnies as no decent teams ever agree to come to Olean.
These are the types of games that I believe Archie wants URI to participate in per his early post hire interview comments on scheduling.

I hope I am wrong.
At this time, I think it will be very difficult to add an immediate impact or star player to our roster, but who knows.
Still early but looking at how the A10 rosters are shaping up, it is hard for me to see us finishing ahead of:
SLU, Dayton, VCU, GM, Richmond, Davidson, Loyola, and even UMass.
Like I said it seems that Archie is building for the future, which I am cool with.

I'm also sure that if transmissions get to high levels again some states/places may mandate masks indoors again for periods of time but NYGs point was masks on indefinitely and everywhere and that clearly hasn't been the case.

Have to agree with NYGFan_Section208 on this one. He referred to Masks at Rhody Games in the Ryan Center. Masks were required at the Ryan Center all the way up to the very last game, well after the Dunk stopped requiring Masks.

Your trolling isn't even sensible any more. Look at this first sentence - a blatant lie and then confusing follow up. Another sentence of nonsensical trash. Changing topics to something irrelevant and obvious. An answer to a question no one asked. Then a wild take with an obvious overlay of pointlessness.
I just want to laugh again. I need the old 72 back. The one with absolute hilarity.
But since we steadied the coaching position and staff with pros, you've kinda lost direction on where to go.
I'll continue to remember the good times. The people manager who knew basketball. That's my 72.
Here's hoping you regain form or get put out to pasture.
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.

Dude, you've been caught. You hid that you were a troll well, but you blew it with the I would have gotten rid of Cox a year earlier comment. I'm surprised you forgot that you posted how much you wanted to extend Cox since that was one of your best posts ever.
You know Grasso will make the tournament playing in a much easier conference. You know what Archie is trying to do with this roster and program. You pretending that the clock is ticking on a coach who is just literally hired is stupid and boring.
The clock is ticking on all D1 MBB coaches.
Your trolling isn't even sensible any more. Look at this first sentence - a blatant lie and then confusing follow up. Another sentence of nonsensical trash. Changing topics to something irrelevant and obvious. An answer to a question no one asked. Then a wild take with an obvious overlay of pointlessness.

Poor Bona. Man, they’re hitting a real rough spot. They should maybe consider leaving the A10 and dropping down.
Can they survive this hit?

Re: A10 Outlook for 2022-23
I don't view it as feeding the troll. When people take him seriously and respond to his posts, I think that's feeding him. So calling him out for his lack of creativity and incredibly boring posts is OK. LIke Blueman, I laughed at how awesome his old posts used to be.ramster wrote: ↑2 years agoRemember the days Blue Man when you told all of us not to feed the troll?

Don't forget he also had a cameo on South Park. We all want that person back. Since Archie was hired his posts have been embarrassingly bad.
