Rumor has it College of Charleston might be joining the conference at year's end...thoughts? 2 NCAAs in the last 25 years.

I’d love to see C of C join. Nice arena in a great city.

Agreed, I believe it would be a good choice, basketball wise and my daughter-in-law is a Charleston grad.

Just makes making the NCAA harder, IMO. I don't disagree that the arena and area is nice, but if we are adding them without anyone leaving, it's a little odd.

But wouldn’t an expanded A10 schedule limit BONAVENTURE to scheduling an excessive number of MAAC schools for a Perennial Top 100 program?

The A10 should not expand. I think the addition of Loyal-Chicago was mainly done to get ahead of a team leaving, most likely UMass with their aspirations of going to a football conference. Just wait it out until that happens and get back to 14. Adding more teams just further dilutes the conference.

What's the reason for the addition? I wonder if the league is trying to get away from the current tournament set-up into something simpler. 16 to 8 to 4 to 2, with no more byes and maybe giving top 8 home court for the first round?

I would attend every Bonnies game there I definitely will. It is a nice relatively new arena, good views. I attended all the games at the Charleston tournament a few years ago which Bonnies won! Sat next to Jimmy Barron and directly behind the ESPN announcers for one the games which was -50F cooler than cool! |

Not sure, but there was some rumors around UMass leaving. Not sure that has been substantiated by any legitimate outlet. Same was rumored with VCU to AAC, but I have not heard of anything concrete there either. None of these teams would ever make a formal announcement until conference tournaments are over. |

I winter in Wilmington,NC. UNCW has put together a good program, and a culture of winning, nice facilities. Swept C of C this year. The area is burgeoning...just saying (selfishly)

They also had some recent success in the tournament. An upgrade over many A10 programs. |
