That's awful.

Interesting to see that the conference has essentially sorted itself into three groupings already...a group at the top that's got great in-conference records (X, SJU, UD), a group at the bottom that's rough (Fordham, GW, etc.), and then the patented A10 murky middle. That middle group scares me a little--those teams can beat anyone in the conference on the right night.
