Close to Power Conference for ODU
I think this would be a good thought for Dr. Selig. Join the A10 and either due one or two things. Make it the A12 and add ODU and the College of Charleston or pull out LaSalle and UMASS as rumored. This year' NCAA teams include Charleston, St. Boni, R.I. and Davidson. Add VCU, GW, Dayton, St. Joseph, George Mason, Fordham, Duquesne, Richmond (all of starting five returns) and St. Louis and ODU. No cup cakes in this league.
As for Football, currently it is a mess to predict. With the low league recruiting in the last three years, it does not look good. We can't pay 1 Million for a known football coach like FIU and FLA ATLANTIC. The so called sell outs, are dwindling. 20K is a good number for ODU depending on the league talent growth, and getting killed by teams out of s talent range.
NOTE: The kid from IC Noricum, Travis Fields is leading Radford to the NCAA tourney. He played very little like Godwin & Huiett did this year. If you don't have depth you can't develop depth. Our last two games had very little made three's. Our best two three point shooters, kept the bench warm. They should have been redshirted but I am not the coach. I just hope no one leaves this year's team, for 2018-2019

The thing about the A10 that everyone forgets is that it's already the A14. So they're not expanding, and they probably don't really need to backfill except in a worst-case scenario (Dayton/St. Louis to the Big East, UMass to an all-sports FBS conference, LaSalle to the MAAC). Even then, at 10 they're probably fine.
