That's isn't good. I wonder what happened. However, if a really good team also wins the A-10 they should still get in. This would mean that this year, if that was in place, Duquesne probably wouldn't have gotten in.
Whew....

April Fools! Unless someone really did use a witch!

". . .paying an evil witch to cast an evil curse on Dayton ensuring they will never win an Atlantic 10 Tournament"

Its bad enough the internet is a cesspool to begin with, do people really need to make up more stuff today?

At least the PSU article had this at the bottom...

Here's an item that would seem to qualify for an April Fools story - except that it is factual...

USC finished near the bottom of the Pac 12 with an overall 8-15 record with both Bronny James and DJ Rodman (Dennis' son) on the roster. On paper, that would seem really hard to do.

My favorite April Fool's Day joke involving sports:
Several years ago the Canadian Football League on their website announced it was going to build a 50,000 seat temporary stadium above the Arctic Circle for the next Grey Cup game.
I thought for a while it was possible. After all we have had single-use natural grass placed over artificial turf for certain soccer matches, tons of dirt trucked into arenas for truck and motorcycle races, etc. Then the CFL reminded me that the announcement was made on April 1.

It's almost like world-class genes aren't enough by themselves. Apples don't fall far from the tree, but they can roll far away. I'm not saying they aren't good players, but they aren't nearly their fathers. Add Marcus Jordan to that list.
