Peace Out, Linda B.

Or for you non-slang types, See You Later, A-10 Commissioner Linda Bruno.

Pretty stupendous news out of the A-10's Secret Lair underneath New York City, Bruno has resigned for no given reason. Like most GW fans, I've never been a fan of Bruno, who didn't seem to do much of anything. The league continued to get worse and worse TV deals, as places like UNC-Wilmington and the CAA got better TV deals, with some teams even becoming the official teams of some cable networks. The league has dropped in competitiveness to the CAA, MVC, and others. The league lacked exposure. The A-10 doesn't have any big sponsors and hasn't done much to get rid of the dead weight teams. A-10 football, one of the strongest Division 1-AA leagues, (and frequently the strongest), was dismantled under her leadership, with the good football teams going to the CAA and Patriot League. She did bring in Dayton, SLU, Charlotte, and Richmond, but also La Salle. And the new logo is lame. Good riddance.

GWHoops is all over this. GDub Enthusiasm has a hilarious song, a thread, the (joke) A-10 search committee, and a thread.

Here's the A-10 press release.
