It's a trend across the country DC1991 you are correct (not just in the A-10 thankfully, which may keep the A-10 as a 3 bid league just because everyone else is struggling also).

I saw part of the Bona game against UMES on the A10 site. Bona played exactly the way we played vs. NJIT...no defense and then when down went into scramble mode but it was too little too late. Hideous performance.
