  Atlantic Ten Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The 2005 move of Northeastern University, a football-only member of the A-10, to the Colonial Athletic Association for basketball and Olympic sports began a chain of events that would lead to the upcoming demise of the A-10 football conference.

 Toyminator's Atlantic 10 Conference Preview
The fact that none of the teams (except Temple) did much once they got to the postseason, and that St. Bonaventure embarrassed themselves during that same time, should not dampen what was accomplished last season.
What should be emphasized was the fact that half the teams in the conference played in postseason tournaments, which really shows how much the conference as a whole improved last season.
That belonged to Dayton, who won their first A-10 championship with some great team play down the stretch.
