kwyjibo Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 There was a whole bunch of SLU/Charlotte stories to A-10 which it would be pointless to post. I thought these were worth noting: Izik pic, Chaney quotes: http://www.cincypost.com/2003/11/07/a10notes11-07-2003.html I am not sure if any linked to this expanded Stu coverage: http://tinyurl.com/u427 Sarcastic look at the future of C-USA: http://www.kinston.com/Details.cfm?StoryID=16031 The AP story has a huge mistake in it (the Atlantic 10 does play 1-AA football and is a dominant I-AA conference): http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/7199479.htm The Philly Stories (through California) seem to indicate that the A-10 would go to a full divisional schedule (12 in division and 3-4 out which would mean travel to the northeast would be rare): http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/7202195.htm http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...1550EST0256.DTL Valley View: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=..._id=25270&rfi=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU8592 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 In contrast, check out this article from Philadelphia Inquirer regarding the Big East's addition of Cincinnati. Interesting, eh? http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/7202114.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Majerus Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 That article's a riot - hard to believe an editor would let it go to press... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 The A-10 football league is strange. Only 3 schools from the A-10 basketball league play in the A-10 football league. I assume the other schools play D-2 or not at all. The reporter was correct but could have explained it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Nope, the reporter is 100% incorrect. In fact the NCAA changed its rules a few years ago that you could no longer be different division for football than the rest of your program (Georgetown's success in DIII football prompted the change). All D-I programs are I-A or I-AA. I-AA schools that would rather not give out scholarships (would prefer to be D-III) are in self declared "no scholarship" conferences (like Ivy and Patriot leagues) that are in fact I-AA and generally do not play "scholarshipped" I-AA schools. Its mostly a northeast thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
