Davidson is an ideal fit for the Atlantic 10 – as a nationally recognized academic Institution complimented by excellence in a broad-based athletic program — the Wildcats will be competitive immediately. Their success in men’s basketball is important, bringing another nationally recognized brand into the league,” A-10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade said Wednesday in a prepared release.

George Mason will become an A-10 member this summer, restoring a strong in-state rivalry with VCU. It also means the league will operate with 13 full members in 2013-14 and then – presumably – 14 in 2014-15.

Good pickup for the A-10. Do they stay at 12 after BE likely takes SLU & Day/Rich after next year? If not who is on their radar? Siena? Stony Brook? Detroit? Cleve St.? Valpo?

if Saint Louis and Dayton leave
I don't think the Atlantic Ten will again stray too far from the Atlantic Coast.
The only school rumored has been Siena

Any chance College of Charleston would join? I know they are joining the CAA, but they apparently wanted Davidson to go there with them.

ideally they would be a great partner, but the CAA has a monster fee. The only way they could come if Bernie was to help them with the exit fee - like she did with Mason.
