The reshaping of the Atlantic 10 continues, with CBSSports.com reporting that Davidson will join the league for the 2014-15 season.
Siena is also potentially under consideration for A-10 membership.
The move is pending approval from Davidson’s board of trustees, the report says. Should the reports prove true, Davidson will join George Mason as one of two new additions to the A-10 in the wake of Xavier and Butler’s departures from the conference.
The Atlantic 10 is also “likely to see two more schools eventually bolt – potentially Dayton and Saint Louis,” CBSSports.com reported.
Athletic director Patrick Nero previously told The Hatchet that the A-10 was ready to react should any of its members defect to another conference. Davidson is the “elite” school in its current conference, the Southern Conference, according to the CBSSports.com report, and has been to five of the last eight NCAA tournaments.
