VCU chances of getting in

[yorost]

VCU will not be one of the teams invited. Again, to repeat myself, the schools that are being invited have already been informed.

Do you think it's true that there will be no announcements until after the season?

I think it's true there won't be an announcement until a conference exists. That could be after the season. I suspect things will go down quickly once an announcement is made, official exit, creation of conference, invites and other teams exit strategies, etc.

I don't know why JohnT thinks VCU has no chance. Sure, I wouldn't be surprised if Butler and Xavier, plus maybe one more, have already been given a heads up, but why suspect everyone is in lock step on 2 more, or even if 2 more should be added? One thing sources do seem to indicate is that at the very least there is still discussion going on.
