Update: It was just announced Charlotte is off to CUSA for all sports.

This takes the A-10 down to 12 all of a sudden. If they add Butler, GMU, VCU, that means 15 teams now, not 16. Room for one more. Or, of course, one less. Or even three less, by revoking invites for all.

Does that take into account the rumors of ODU to CUSA?

Why would it? ODU is moving from the CAA to CUSA.

If the Valley needed a replacement member or to expand, a new school has opened up IMO.

New Mexico State.

The WAC is about to be blown to smithereens. Pretty much everyone but them and Idaho are leaving. Putting aside their problem of where to park their football program (independence in FBS or a FCS conference like the Southland), they need to park their other sports elsewhere.

If they want to try football independence to stay in FBS, would the Valley be wise to offer them a basketball home? Geographic footprint is a bit stretchy, but they have an 11-year history with the Valley and offer a very competent basketball program.


I know we'll hash this out elsewhere TAS, but I prefer Idaho and Boise State.

BUT, NMSU does have history with the league already.

For reference:

None of the 3 (Boise, NMSU, Idaho) has men's soccer, but all 3 have women's soccer. NMSU has baseball, the others don't.

So you are basically talking golf, cross country, tennis, volleyball and softball for Olympic sports.
