But I'll tell you what, I'd be interested in trading Fordham for JMU.

Fordham plays in the smallest gym in the league, JMU has a legitimate arena.
JMU would join Richmond and URI in teams that play A10 basketball and CAA football.

I agree with dropping Fordham. But I'd replace them with Sienna (not JMU).

Sienna plays at a big (15k) arena, and drew 5,900 fans per game last year (A-10 average is 4,700).
