Has anyone seen a report stating that Davidson accepted the (reported) invite from the A10? If not, would this indicate that their board of trustees did not approve the move?

Not sure how many legs there are to that report- Goodman was the only one who reported it and it was never followed up by any other sources. That said I’m sure the A10 is interested in Davidson, like everyone else, just wait and see what happens

Agreed all Siena can do right now is get their house in order. Let’s get back to where we belong- on top of the MAAC. Any A10 talk will take care of itself, if we get back to winning

Can't remember whether this got posted on Monday 4/15 collegechalktalk.com/?p=6898While it appears that McGlade is done adding schools, there have been reports that the league has also informally gauged interest of MAAC member Siena. A small Franciscan school located just outside of Albany, Siena could be another solid addition. The Saints have had recent NCAA success (trips in 2008, ’09 and ’10) play in a first class arena (the 15K seat plus Times Union Center) which they regularly pack and have new head coach who’s a proven winner (Jimmy Patsos from Loyola, Maryland). Whether or not the A10 extends an invitation Siena’s way, McGlade has steered the league towards calmer waters during this turbulent time. Losing flagship teams in Temple and Xavier could have been a crushing blow to the A10. Losing Butler on top of those two could have sent the league back another couple of steps. That didn’t happen. McGlade and company picked up the pieces, did their homework, and have appeared to rope in two winners.
