It's going to be a fun week....Butler to announce move to A-10 today....

Because they pay to play in baseball stadium with a RIGHTEOUS at 22k capacity. A stadium that looks like a pro field used for the CWS and the MVC tourney.

They aren't going to get that attendance for a Fordham or Duquesne match up and keep spending $.

Much less go play on their public park fields in return.

Holy crap. Their facilities are incredible all around.

Obviously, it's not definite, but it's not wild conjecture that they'd move into the A-10 if all the pieces fit.

MASON SAYS NO????



—By Thomas Block, Program Director for Eyesradio @tomcblock

For many months rumors have been circulating about the George Mason Patriots leave the CAA and joining the Atlantic-10 conference. Depending on who you talked to it was either accepted as a great thing for Mason or just bad timing.

I have learned today from sources within the Athletic Department that George Mason WILL NOT be going to the Atlantic-10 and this decision just happened within the last day or so. The hesitation to make the jump was the ultimate factor and had nothing to do with what VCU wanted to accomplish. At this time, it is unclear if VCU is still in the position to make the move.

Unconfirmed reports though suggest that incoming President, Dr. Angel Cabrera, was not in favor of the move.

You're 2+ days late on that.

[PiKappPatri8]

The story is old and there is additional information that no decision has been made.

[GS II]

That story is awful and borderline unethical reporting. Reporter should be ashamed.

Interesting article. I never thought the A10 would be taking a community college with 1 good year of basketball. Neat.

The irony of this comment being of course that CUSA is taking on ODU, a bottom tier academic institution that JUST started its FCS football team and has done jack-**** to earn FBS status.
