Delaware, Drexel, Hofstra, and NE join the A10

Richmond, VCU, GMU, and Davidson join the CAA

That would leave the A10 with:
UMass, NE, URI, Hofstra, Fordham, St Bony, Duquesne, La Salle, St Joe's, Drexel, Delaware, GW, Dayton, and St Louis

CAA would have:
Towson, GMU, Richmond, VCU, JMU, William and Mary, Davidson, Elon, UNCW, CoC

I think both leagues would benefit from that arrangement.

As long as the A-10 is able to be a 2-3 bid league no is going to voluntarily move to a lesser or even a peer league. While that southern league is nice it ignores the reality that the southern A-10 schools want to be associated with some of those northern ones and the northern ones have zero interest in the schools CAA would trade them.
