St. Joes...

While SBU is "in the middle of nowhere" they have pretty solid support, and its always a tough place to play. They may not be a "sexy" team, but the A-10 could do much, much worse than a solid plugger of a program that SBU has been for much of UD's existance in the A-10. heck, they may have as many NCAA apperances as UD over that same stretch.
Saint Joe's just completed a full revamp of their arena. I'm unaware of the current capacity, but they've made a commitment.
However, they do need to start setting guidelines/minimums so that they can enforce those things if neccessarry down the road.

St. Joes seating capacity is still small, ~ 4000,....but the school made a major committment...about $20 million as i recall,....building new practice/training facilities, coaches offices, amenities for the press and fans.
FU and LU did nothing remotely comparable.
