Joining other Midwest schools in the conference- an attractive addition and keeps the A-10 just behind the power conferences in strength

Good for that league if Umass goes totally insane and leaves to join a conference w/football.

A strange rumor within the CAA
Add 1-3 teams for all sports- appears to be complicated
Plan B approach the Patriot League and create a North-south conference with a playoff/championship game in each sport-not sure if this has legs, but allegedly put on the table as an option

The travel issue with many teams flying charter is a non-issue.

Chicago is on the Atlantic ! Or Loyola-Chicago to the Atlantic 10. According to the LaSalle board, The Athletic ran an article on this move, (it is behind a paywall), which stated the Explorers future in the league is in doubt. Of course sadly, the future of LaSalle University period, may be in doubt. |
