And Richmond deserved it more than GMU and VCU? IMO, Richmond and W&M should move together.

I feel like I need to take a Bill Dazzle moment and disclose the fact I have connections to the city of Richmond and the College of William & Mary. Maybe I need to update my sig...

Well when Richmond moved to the A-10 that was before GMU's and VCU's Final Four and at the time they were the mid major that made the most noise in the NCAA Men's Tournament. In 1991, they became the first #15 seed to beat a #2 seed and that wasn't their only major upset.

It also occurred when the A10 still sponsored football. If W&M came along as well then the conference could have continued sponsoring football. Maybe even Fordham joins now that they offer scholarships.
