Congrats to the A-10 on snagging 6 Dance spots! In the end, proved to be a better league than the Big East. Now the league just has to show it. Maybe now with the Big East not expecting to expand anytime soon and the A-10 getting those bids and with it (providing a team or two or three wins a game or two) some hefty NCAA money, maybe SLU and/or Dayton won't be so eager to move now.
