Too small for major conference athletics.

Could win more games in the MAAC than the A10.

IMO, the A10 may have outgrown LaSalle. The large public schools (UMass, URI, GMU, VCU) and Catholic schools with rabid fans (Dayton, StLouis) are investing a lot more in athletics. The A10 also has schools with deep pockets (Davidson, GWU and Richmond).

I’m not sure that the Explorers can, or should try to, keep up with the A10’s upper tier.

La Salle has never had the resources to compete with the top of the A10. They have a MAAC basketball budget and MAAC facilities. However, they won’t leave the A10 because they’d be worse off financially and they want the institutional exposure in NC and the Mid-Atlantic that they get in the A10 and won’t get in the MAAC.
