    It has 3 of the best young coaches in America in Mack, Stevens and Smart.

    If we could get rid of Fordham and GW, that would be icing on the cake.
    I think you must have meant Fordham and LaSalle, didn't you?

    Is Temple a home game next year? I doubt we'd be lucky enough but if VCU turns out to be a home game that'd be a heck of a home conference schedule:

    VCU
    SLU
    Butler
    Temple
    Dayton (to a lesser extent, still a fun home game nonetheless)

    Those are 4 REALLY good games and 1 guaranteed win. :D

    Butler will come to Cintas, but it won't be a conference game.

    Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. Still a good slate of home games nonetheless.

    I LOVE these additions. They make geographic sense, and they make the A-10 so much stronger. As an earlier post stated, VCU has a surprisingly solid history (only 7 losing seasons since 1968). Temple certainly has more name brand, and I loved the Philly market, but the on-court success of our new members cannot be questioned. We obviously know that VCU and Butler have made incredible tourney runs the last few years. If you go a bit further back and compare the NCAA tourney success of VCU and Butler vs. Temple and Charlotte, it's tough to argue the impact that these additions make. In the past 10 years, VCU and Butler have a combined 22 tournament wins. Temple and Charlotte have 1.
