Around the A-10: 2024–25 Edition

sounds like 500K not 700. 2 teams get 50k. 1 team 100k. 1 team 300k.

Seems those may be stacking amounts...4 teams get $50k in the semis, 2 teams get an additional $100k for final ($150k cumulative each), champion gets an additional $300k ($450k cumulative).

But yes, if not stacking it would be $500k total payout.

yeah incorrect assumption by article imo. idk but I doubt stacking. also reported elsewhere to be 500k.

No win for the A10 in the big dance. Played like a true one bid league. Thanks for coming by says the P5.

And VCU's season is over, 80–71. BYU got a little separation toward the end of the first half and VCU never really threatened the rest of the way.

Dayton and Mason go down today, leaving Loyola as the last one standing in the NIT.

UR women may be the last A-10 team standing

There was a time when our conference was getting multiple NCAA bids. This year one 1 bid and several in a weakened NIT. Yet we have only left in NIT. Hope for a revitalization in the conference.

yet all offseason and leading into next year we'll hear how tough and improved the A10 is

 

[fan2011]

Not sure if it is related, but the changes to transfers and NIL seem to coincide with the decline of the A10

I sure hope that’s the case, because it means we’re at least in the Elite Eight. GW men don’t play in the Crown until 3/31.

We need to get rid of the dregs of the conference and make sure that we are not a part of the dregs of the conference going forward

Seems just about the entire Bonnie team has now entered the portal ...

Look at the tournament this year. Very few upsets. Big 10, SEC, Big 12 and Duke make up the entirety of the Sweet 16. NIL has killed Cinderalla runs that is for sure.

 

[Eight Legger]

I would imagine that most P5 programs are spending very little time or energy recruiting HS kids at this point. Why should they? Just recruit the best kids from our level and sign them every year. It presents an opportunity for us to mine some of those kids who might now get overlooked, as we also continue to recruit from the SoCon, MAAC, Ivy, etc. The coaches and staffs that can thread that needle and keep talent for a couple years will win, the others will become irrelevant.

No Big East, and only Team not in a P6 last season is BYU…

 

[8legs1dream]

BYU was in the Big12 last season too.

Everybody is changing conferences too fast, I was sure they were WCC.
I wanted a reason to root for the team that took out VCU…

Must get coached up quickly. Hmm.

 

[Wood Hall]

Loyola won at USF last night, so it is still alive.

I hope to attend a game at USF's Memorial Gym someday. Looks funky cool.

Forbidden talk around here 😂

Transfer pitch by our staff - If you can learn the weave, then maybe we can dance.

We don't care how high you can jump, but how fast can you run backwards?
