davidnark Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Would there be a chance that Xavier and/or Dayton would be part of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLfan Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'd hope so. If you took say SLU and X you could have a confernce that looks like this broken into two divisions. East and West. Use the Mississippi river as the divider EAST Southern Illinois Bradley Xavier Illinois State Indiana State Evansville WEST Saint Louis Creighton Missouri State Wichita State Drake Northern Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I could deal with it if X and Dayton went too. However, what kind of coach demands that type of thing? I am suspicious of this "news". The buy out to leave the A10 would be substantial and then the $1mil+ salary, plus asst. coach salaries, plus bigger overall budget is just too much. Unless the MVC agrees to help buy out the A10 contract. I don't want SLU to be in the MVC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSLU68 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 how about if Creighton, Drake, and Bradley join the A10? these are reasonably large cities and each has medical schools, graduate programs, and populations that could produce good rivalries and synergism for the faculty and student body and decent basketball with City Schools being the thread that makes them compatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 then we could have 4,516 teams in the A10. Official Billikens.com sponsor of H Waldman Official Sponser of the Stemmler and Ahearn could and would have helped club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSLU68 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 With 31 games: play each time only once befor the tournament and switch home court advantages like we do with SIUC and MOState East Fordham George Washington La Salle UMass Richmond Rhode Island St. Bonaventure St. Joseph West Temple Xavier Dayton SLU Bradley Creighton Duquesne Charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't want to add to the A10. Replace, that's a different story. If you wanted to bring on some new teams and drop some of the the bottom dwellers than fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 aren't there 14 now. Add 3 would make 17 Official Billikens.com sponsor of H Waldman Official Sponser of the Stemmler and Ahearn could and would have helped club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSLU68 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 who would you drop? I would only drop teams of lower academic standing as well as support for basketball; Do you agree we would benefit by putting Bradley and Creighton on our schedule if not in our league?
