And the champagne flows at Gary Waters' house...
It's hard to see Butler football being anywhere near competitive in the A-10.

I'm sure Ianello would have found a way to lose to them!

that's a nice bb league. I'll get to see them play once a year. Went to my first game last year and really enjoyed it. UNCC actually has NCAA Final Four banners hanging in their arena...kind of neat.

And the strategy may have started by kicking off in both halves of the game. Ahhh, the fond memories.

As I shouted to their coach when they last played @Hawaii: "Put in Cornbread!"
Looks like VCU is joining Butler in the Atlantic 10 as well.

VCU is leaving the Colonial Athletic Association and will join the Atlantic 10 Conference in 2013, industry sources told CBSSports.com.
VCU is the second new addition to the Atlantic 10, joining Butler, which is leaving the Horizon League for the A-10.
An official announcement of VCU's move will be made this week, sources said.

Maybe so, but I'm sure the Bulldog footballers will handle VCUs squad.
The A-10 picks up two recent Final Four teams?! That leapfrog's them into an elite-level conference. Their commissioner is a keeper.
