Atlantic Ten Conference

The '''Atlantic 10 Conference''' (A10) is a college athletic conference which operates mostly in the eastern United States; it also has two member schools in
Ohio:
University of Dayton Dayton and
Xavier University (Cincinnati) Xavier, located in
Dayton, Ohio Dayton and
Cincinnati, Ohio Cincinnati, respectively. Another member,
Saint Louis University Saint Louis is located in
St. Louis, Missouri. It participates in the
NCAA's
Division I-AA for football and
Division I for all other sports. The A-10 is traditionally considered to be one of the best mid-major conferences in college basketball. After the 2006 football season, A-10 will disband its football division due to the member schools joining the
Colonial Athletic Association.

Despite the name, there are 24 partial or full-time members; 12 schools play football, 14 basketball and other sports, and one affiliate member participates in women's
field hockey only. Only three schools—UMass, Rhode Island, and Richmond—are members in both football and basketball. This odd conference construction is because the A-10 Football Conference was created in 1997 by a takeover of the football-only
Yankee Conference, due to
NCAA rules changes that significantly diminished the legislative input of single-sport conferences. The members of the Yankee Conference narrowly chose the A-10's merger proposal over that of the
Colonial Athletic Association; this decision was later revisited by the football-playing members of the A-10,
