Davidson to A-10

Honestly I feel sick about the demise of the SoCon. I find no joy in watching the conference fade into oblivion. It sure as hell doesn't improve ASU's image. This commissioner/president has driven this conference right into the ground. Every single move he made devalued the conference. Incompetent doesn't even begin to describe his performance. Why bother getting rid of the idiot now, it's way too late.

just saw ESPN is reporting that Davidson is gone to A10.

Was thinking the same thing. If that happens, it's a safe bet that they'd be grabbing ETSU as well. Rumor is also that Elon will be in the CAA shortly.

Potentially, that would mean the loss of 6 members and a top replacement candidate. Things could get really dicey if that happened.

FUrman and WoCo would be dancing a jig if that happened.

"Iamarino did not return a call seeking comment Tuesday."

According to Char Observer Davidson will hold a 10:30 press conference today to announce the move.

Wonder if Iamarino still hasn't heard anything about it?

I was going to... but I couldn't find a "good" picture...

It's sad when google image search can't find a decent picture of a school's mascot...

The picture is priceless.

I take no pleasure in the SoCon sinking, but he does look like he's saying "That just leaves me holding my weenie" or something to that effect.

Article mentions UNCA and I am puzzled why Winthrop is not in the mix. Good basketball tradition and baseball has also been good at times. Iamarino indicated the league may be moving more towards basketball but adding VMI & Mercer won't get that done.

I don't take pleasure in seeing the league's demise, per say. But I can't help but enjoy the poetic justice after all those rubes on AGS spend days and days criticizing our decision and trying to spin our departure as a godsend for the SmallCon.

Mercer would be a very nice baseball/basketball addition, although they may be flirting with the CAA as well. VMI really doesn't strengthen any sport. They bring stability and a rival for The Citadel that could make for some interesting games.

VMI is not going anywhere. They'll be available until the SoCon calls but if I'm commish, I sure don't wait around to lock up Mercer/ETSU if they are primary targets. Would have serious egg on your face and be in a tough spot if Mercer joins the CAA and ETSU joins the OVC while the SoCon is posturing.

It is official, just finished watching the press conference. The AD indicated that discussion with the A10 had actually been going on for sometime.

Davidson's logo is absolutely awful. But, a great move for Davidson. I'm guessing the SoCon's fearless leader has finally heard of Davidson moving to the A-10.

Imamoron's is probably singing Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places" this morning.

The last one to know
The last one to show
The last one you thought you'd see there

Said,honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain...

Cause I got friends in Low Places...

Still don't understand why the SoCon would not add Coastal Carolina??? The commish had to know this was coming (talking about the departures of CoC, ASU, GSU, Dav) and if he didn't he should be fired for imcompetence. UNCA, Coastal Carolina, ETSU, and Mercer would be the best prospects but I doubt the commish could close them.

I think it's because he's got this LOVE of small privates.

Good point and probably the reason for the fall of the SoCon conference..

I will say that this last year 2013-2014, will be a fun one with everyone together for one last time. Heck everyone needs to make the trip to Asheville for this years SoCon Tourney. It will be a good time before the bolting begins.

Most folks on this board have known that in the beginning I was very highly against the move to FBS, I got lukewarm toward the idea as things started to progress because I wanted whats best for the school. Now with the SoCon becoming a disaster area, while I might have hoped for something better that the Sun Belt, the FBS is clearly where we need to be. Thank the lord we high tailed out of this crap. Its time to move on. I would be surprised if the SoCon even still exists at this rate in 2015.
