Rough Count
Solidy Yes: St. Joe's, Duquesne, Fordham, St Bony's,
Likely Yes: GW

Who are the other 4 or 5 that would vote in favor or 2 more small Catholic NY schools?

Among schools that would actually consider joining the A10, look at the historical basketball records, current men’s basketball budget, location in current footprint and attendance / facilities. The A10 is already full of private schools most of which are ... wait for it ... Catholic. Davidson has less than 2,000 undergrads. You can eliminate any school that sponsors scholarship football or scholarship hockey since that is what the A10 does. Guess which two schools rate the highest?

Even if I didn’t have information straight from the office of La Salle’s president, it’s not at all difficult to determine which schools will be at the top of the list. Fairfield was the only (in my mind) outlier from the 2013 list. But if the A10 finds itself in the position of having to choose between Fairfield, Hofstra or expanding the footprint to Charleston to keep the conference alive, the A10 is doomed.
