The A10 can't accommodate all seven BE Catholics...but it doesn't have to.
LaSalle and Seton Hall are a better fit for the MAAC. Providence and Villanova,....trouble,....they wouldn't like CAA; but the fit isn't bad.
Marquette and DePaul are naturals for the A10. Indeed, the A10 could also handle Villanova. Would the A10 edge out schools like
Bona and GW? I doubt it....that wouldn't be nice.
If things get bad enough the A10 doesn't have to be in a position to invite anyone. Rather, the A10 can wait until one or more BE Catholics applies for admission. To my mind, that would be the best scenario.
With our solid commissioner, no doubt she is well connected with her AD counterparts at the BE schools.
