The Atlantic 10 Conference

The Atlantic 10 Conference is a group of universities that compete against each other in a variety of sports at the Division I, or most competitive, level.  Its name is a bit misleading as there more than ten member universities in the conference.

The full members of the Conference are:

• The University of North Carolina-Charlotte
• The University of Dayton
• Duquesne University
• Fordham University
• George Washington University
• La Salle University
• The University of Massachusetts
• The University of Rhode Island
• The University of Richmond
• St. Bonaventure University
• St. Joseph's University
• Saint Louis University
• Temple University
• Xavier University

How It's Used

"In fact, the committee got it exactly right with the ACC (seven bids), the Big East (seven) and the Atlantic 10 (three, with help from Temple winning the tournament). It was close after giving the Big 12 six bids, the only potential quibble being Texas A&M."

"Fordham was on its way to an 18-12 season, with 10 wins in the Atlantic 10 Conference. But that 2006-7 season remains the program’s lone winning campaign out of 14 since moving up from the Patriot League."
