That could also be a 12 team schedule.

It's 9. It was in response to Thamel tweeting that Butler and Xavier left the A10 this morning

We already did this thread when this news came out a few weeks ago.

There will not be a 9 team league. Logistically it is a nightmare-you will have one team not playing every weekend plus fox is missing out on a ton of inventory (a 9 team league is a classic lose lose scenario). A nine team league is so logistically bad in a modern sports world dominated by TV that i would be shocked if in 2013 only 9 teams were in the league. If 16 games is true, then it is most logically a 12 team league.

16 games can be a conference schedule for almost any lineup of teams. Just because you're 10 doesn't mean you have to play a full round robin.

The denial is strong in you young padawan...

Yes, I'm sure that when Butler and Xavier simultaneously did their mic-drop this morning and Saint Louis, et al just sat there, it means a 12 team league.

I'm sure Butler and X... staged a simultaneous mic drop... until announcements are made your just going on rumors.... besides even if they did leave the meetings how does that mean that the league will only start with 9... Maybe Creighton is 10. Was Creighton supposed to walk into the A-10 meetings and walk out with them?

No, now Doug just has to walk up and take the A-10 player of the tournament trophy from the commish on sunday and say, "we're taking this too"
