Conference rankings NCAA DI

[ff2001]

Pretty interesting, had not seen this year.  The MAAC is higher rated than I thought, 18th.  When you look at it, the only real conference that would make sense to potentially move to is the A-10.  The CAA is barely above us at 16th.  The Ivy league is way higher than I thought it was, 7th.  America East (another league thrown out in the past to possibly join) is 26th.

The mens side has the MAAC 23rd in the rankings, A10 at 7th, CAA 20th.

I think the people that make these decisions are looking at more than one year's RPI. For example - I believe the average athletic budgets in the CAA are level above the MAAC.

I'm not crazy about the CAA. A-10 would be interesting.

Agreed, I am just saying the CAA is not a step up, maybe budgets, but not much else.  A10 is highly recognized for hoops.

There's also commonality with the A-10: 8 Catholic Schools, 4 of which are Jesuit.

[nittanystag]

The only real upgrade is the A10. Any other move is more or less lateral. A move to the A10 at some point is not outside the realm of possibility, given the seismic shifts in conference affiliations these days. With rumors of an imploding ACC (fueled by lawsuits brought by Clemson and Florida State over exit fees), might current A10 teams like Richmond, VCU, Davidson and George Mason deem the grass greener on Tobacco Road and jockey to fill those voids, opening more A10 slots? Anything is possible these days as major college athletics continue to sail deeper into uncharted waters without a rudder.
