If A10 schedules are regionally focused, they may be even more lopsided in terms of which
"pod" you get into. That alone may essentially determine if you have a realistic chance of making the shortened 4-team A10 tourney. You might end up playing twice as many A10 tourney contending teams as someone else with a soft bottomfeeder pod that back-doors in to the A10 tourney.

Lastly, how much are they really saving by cutting the tourneys from 8 to 4 teams? I guess the conventional answer is "Well Chris, 50%." But 50% of what? Is that 50% of $100,000, or 50% of $10,000? I wonder if we're picking pennies off the floor in the name of savings but penalizing the student-athletes more than what the savings (and theoretical safety) is.

At this point, I can see the A10 limiting attendance to just admins and media for things like soccer and volleyball. I would really feel for the fans but even more so the players because part of what makes UD athletics special is the relationship b/t the students/fans and the teams/players.
