I hesitated to go here, but WTF.
Seeing speculation and discussion about LaSalle struggling with their sports identity and costs, if LaSalle were to drop out of the A10, unless another A10 member, also, moves, would have to assume the A10 would quickly move to backfill. UNCW would be a candidate, but I don't think their recent success is consistent enough. Other than providing Davidson with a geographically close conference mate and expanding the NC footprint, there would not be much gain.
If/when the basketball program breaks through to the tournament and gets the accompanying attention, combining that with the current winning consistency of the program, proximity to 757 media, potential for re-establishing natural rivals, I would think we would have to be promoting the Tribe for a potential move. Returning to a consistent home and home basketball schedule of UR, VCU, GMU, along with Davidson and GW, just outweighs any reasons to remain in the CAA for other sports, outside of football.
Have to assume Huge has that option clearly on the radar for posturing, if that opening/path were to come about sooner than later.
