The best thing about this news is that is really does not matter to me or XU anymore since we are now in a much better situation. If the A10 added George Mason last year or if XU was left behind, I would be totally against adding them.
Why does the A10 need to add any schools?

I like Mason, but I'm not sure why the A10 felt they needed to add them. I guess to get to 12? Is UMass in the league next season?
Next years A10 is:
Fordham
SBU
The Fightin' Martellis
LaSalle
Duquesne
Richmond
VCU
SLU
URI
UMass
GM

Yeah, UMess is still in for basketball. They are in the MAC for football and have a scheduling agreement for 4 Bball games with MAC teams. They would love to hook up with the America Metropolitan Conglomeration of Northern Southeastern Institutions of the Southwest 12, however.

Well I guess if you are going to get to 12, GM is as good addition as any.

You're forgetting GW - if the George Mason move is for next season that will put them at 13, unless they know of one more departure this season. Or they have another replacement in the wings to get back to the 14, that way when they lose two next year they will stay at 12.
13 would be weird for scheduling, and for being the lone sole team that gets to play with their crib toys while the other 12 are at Barclays.- David Bowers ('95)

I must've missed Fordham's "one year wonder." I know I missed Fordham's sell outs. Mason probably isn't going back to the Final Four anytime soon, and it certainly isn't going to replace X or Butler, but it is not a bad addition. I'm not the biggest Hewitt fan, but the program as a whole certainly belongs. To put them down with Fordham is way off.

Siena will be #14; or at least that's my guess.
