How about some good news? The A-10 is doing well this season, with URI and Dayton currently ranked, Xavier ranked earlier in the season, and UMass getting some votes. Even we did, for some reason.
Seven teams are in the RPI top 100, all of them at 60 or better, with SLU just outside at 104, and even Doo-kez-nee is 9-3! Whoda thunk it. The league is only 8th in the RPI, but in the past three seasons the A-10 has been 10th, 11th, and 15th. Is this a trend?
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a good piece on the league.

Whats unfortunate still, is the struggles the A-10 has in regards to getting on TV. Next Wednesday the conference's two top teams both in the top 25 meet up. URI vs. Dayton @ 7:00pm and the game won't be televised...
Wishful thinking but I hope with the success of the A-10 this year that it gives them some leverage in regards to CSTV and ESPN... No fan of any A-10 team should not be afforded the oppurtunity to see thier team televised especially if they're nationally ranked, never mind a game involving two nationaly ranked teams!!!
GO RHODY!!!
