The Atlantic 10 Must Take Advantage of Trickle-Down Realignment

Bernadette McGlade’s reign as commissioner of the Atlantic 10 has been marred by significant conference realignment and porous NCAA tournament performances. The conference failed to capitalize on the momentum from 2022 when it sent both Richmond and Davidson to the NCAA tournament, which happened to be the first time the conference had a multi-team bid …

Fordham, Duquesne…we need to talk

Sad stat I stumbled upon this morning while searching home attendance numbers for A-10 teams: both the Fordham Rams and Duquesne Dukes are averaging fewer than 1,000 fans per game.
