NCAA Atlantic 10 Conference

The Atlantic 10 Conference (A10) is a college athletic conference which operates mostly in the eastern United States; it also has two member schools in Ohio: Dayton and Xavier, located in Dayton and Cincinnati, respectively. Another member, St. Louis is also located in St. Louis, Missouri It participates in the NCAA's Division I-AA for football and Division I for all other sports, but will disband its football division after the 2006 football season.

Despite the name, there are 24 partial or full-time members; 12 schools play football, 14 basketball and other sports, and one affiliate member participates in women's field hockey only. Only three schools—UMass, Rhode Island, and Richmond—are members in both football and basketball. This odd conference construction is because the A-10 Football Conference was created in 1997 by a takeover of the football-only Yankee Conference, due to NCAA rules changes that significantly diminished the legislative input of single-sport conferences. The members of the Yankee Conference narrowly chose the A-10's merger proposal over that of the Colonial Athletic Association; this decision was later revisited by the football-playing members of the A-10, as explained below.

La Salle University

La Salle University is an institution of higher learning located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The University offers undergraduate concentrations in nearly 60 academic areas within its three schools: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, and Nursing. Included are several new and distinctive high-tech majors like Integrated Science, Business and Technology (ISBT) and Digital Arts and Multimedia Design. The university also offers master's degrees and doctorate degrees in several courses of study.

Named for Jean-Baptiste de la Salle, the school was founded in 1863 by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. As of 2005 the school had over 6,200 students, around three quarters of which were undergraduates. Located in the northwestern Philadelphia neighborhood of Logan, the university is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church through the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

The campus is located on the estate of Charles Wilson Peale, the Revolutionary War soldier and painter famous for his portaits of the founding fathers, most notably, George Washington. His home is the current office of the University president.

The university spawned a preparatory division that later separated from the college and became a separate high school. Today, that school is known as La Salle College High School, located in Wyndmoor, just outside Philadelphia.
