2021-22 Atlantic 10 Annual Report

A WORD FROM THE COMMISSIONER

The 2021-22 season was a year of celebration for the Atlantic 10. The conference returned to more normal operations following two years of adjustments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league also recognized a significant milestone in United States history, the 50th anniversary of Title IX. The Atlantic 10 was, as always, competitive athletically, and among the national leaders academically. The league’s Commission on Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion continued to influence the conversation around social justice, and we recognized several outstanding student-athletes through the course of 2021-22 with numerous sport awards, postgraduate scholarships, Commisioner’s Honor Roll and Woman of the Year recognitions.

The A-10 also celebrated the addition of a new member in Loyola Chicago, an institution that is a perfect fit for the A-10 profile, combining a high level of acadeimics, as well as a high level of athletic achievement. The announcement was praised nationally. The league didn’t just add a new member, but a new sport as well. Men’s lacrosse was added as the conference’s 22nd championship sport.

Atlantic 10 teams achieved national success, with Saint Louis men’s soccer reaching the NCAA quarterfinals, Massachusetts women’s basketball earning its first-ever A-10 title and Richmond men’s basketball returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade. The A-10 had 12 postseason basketball participants, six each in women’s and men’s basketball. The Women’s Basketball Championship moved to a new home – CHASE Fieldhouse in Wilmington, Del., a new neutral site venue that provides a perfectly-sized setting to showcase our premier women’s sport in front of a loud, excited crowd of fans. Additionally, the A-10 Men’s Basketball Championship returned to the nation’s capital for the first time since 2018.

Atlantic 10 institutions tied a league record with a 94 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR). The league also eclipsed the A-10 record for number of teams with a perfect 100 percent GSR with 112 programs, which ranks the conference fifth nationally among its peers. A-10 student-athletes also reached the third-highest mark of Commissioner’s Honor Roll recognition, with 3,556 student-athletes recording a 3.0 or better for the 2021-22 year. Both of those marks are to be commended, as our student-athletes returned to a more traditional learning environment.

The league began celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Title IX at the beginning of 2022 and continues to celebrate today in a yearlong recognition of legislation that has touched so many lives. The centerpiece of this recognition was the “What Title IX Means to Me” campaign and a special commemorative logo. The logo was used at all conference events through the year, and the campaign featured quotes and videos from women and men from the A-10 membership outlining how Title IX has impacted their lives.

The Commission on Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion work was showcased in two major events. The first was a celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a basketball tripleheader and informative programming on MLK day in January. These basketball games and programming were broadcast to a national audience thanks to CBS Sports Network. The Commission also sponsored a powerful conversation with Clint Smith, a former Davidson scholar-athlete and New York Times best-selling author on the reckoning of slavery in America.

Finally, the A-10 was a national leader in the new name, image and likeness (NIL) space, forming partnerships to provide our studentathletes with a myriad of educational resources to help them navigate this new frontier and maximize their potential as entrepreneurs and student-athletes.

So, as we proudly work to use our voices and resources for education and change within the A-10, we continue to excel in academics and in athletics, and we look forward to 2022-23 and the opportunities it presents. Thank you for supporting the conference, its 15 members and its student-athletes!

Sincerely,

Bernadette V. McGlade Commissioner

CELEBRATING TITLE IX

Text of the Title IX provision of the Education Amendments of 1972

Title IX’s passage created hundreds of thousands of opportunities across higher education for women’s collegiate sports. Because of it’s overwhelmingly positive impact on higher education and college athletics, the Atlantic 10 is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX in 2022, with league-wide recognitions and activations all year, with a focus on June 23, the date the Educational Amendments were signed into law by then President Richard Nixon. Today, the majority of sports in the Atlantic 10 are women’s sports (12).

The A-10 has implemented the use of a commemorative logo during the celebration, which began on Feb. 2 with National Girls and Women in Sports Day and continued throughout 2022-23. The special logo was used at Atlantic 10 championships throughout the winter, spring and fall seasons.

“What it Means to Me” is the campaign the Atlantic 10 is featuring during the year, with the voices and stories from Atlantic 10 studentathletes, coaches, administrators and alums whose lives have been directly affected and influenced by Title IX. These personal stories have been shared on social media and are now available on a Kudoboard.

The Atlantic 10 is also amplifing the Title IX celebrations on each of its campuses and through the athletic departments from each member institution.

"No person in the United States shall, based on sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

COMMISSION ON RACIAL EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

ABOUT THE COMMISSION

The Atlantic 10 and its member institutions have taken steps to address racial and social injustices in our society. The A-10 formed the Commission on Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in 2020 to take the lead on the league’s efforts to be a part of the solution, through action, activism and education.

The Commission is Co-Chaired by Duquesne President, Ken Gormley, J.D., and La Salle Athletic Director, Brian Baptiste, and each institution has multiple representatives on the Commission.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY INITIATIVES

• Extensive Commission-sponsored programming in partnership with CBS Sports surrounding a women’s and men’s basketball tripleheader that aired on CBS Sports Network. The trio of games aired on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

• MLK Day of Service community service events on multiple campuses (George Washington, La Salle, Saint Joseph’s, VCU), including activation with local youth groups and participation in the Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service, the largest MLK Day event in the country

• Social media activation on all campuses

• A film screening and speaker sponsored by La Salle African-American Student-League

• Recitation of a speech given by Dr. King in Rhode Island’s historic Keaney Gymnasium

• A Richmond, “Millhiser Conversations” panel discussion titled Athletics and Activism

• A visit to the Virginia Holocaust Museum for five Richmond athletic teams, coaches, and staff

• Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Tribute with featured speaker Ilyasah Shabazz at Saint Louis

CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH

The Atlantic 10 Conference Commission on Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion sponsored a very special moderated discussion with New York Times best-selling author Clint Smith. A former Davidson College men’s soccer scholar-athlete, Smith wrote How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America.

As part of the A-10 Commission’s Black History Month programming, the discussion centered on the importance of understanding the history of our country through the correct lenses. One focus will be how students and others on campus can continue to push for racial and social justice and use their platforms in an ever-changing and complicated world.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

NCAA GRADUATION SUCCESS RATE

Atlantic 10 student-athletes and institutions tied a league record with a 94 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in the 2021-22 NCAA data. The league also eclipsed the record for number of teams with a perfect 100 percent GSR with 112 programs. The 112 mark places the A-10 fifth among the 32 conferences in number of teams with a perfect 100, with the Atlantic 10 joining four other leagues, the ACC, the Big 10, the Ivy and the Patriot as the only conferences with more than 110 programs with perfect scores. The league-wide average of 94 percent ties an Atlantic 10 record set in November 2019 NCAA GSR report and places the A-10 in a tie for fifth place among all conferences. Other highlights:

• Second nationally with a 98 percent GSR in women’s basketball

• Third nationally with an average of 95 percent in men’s basketball

• Fourth nationally in baseball with a rate of 95 percent

• La Salle tied for the best rate nationally and leads all A-10 schools with an overall GSR of 99 percent

• Davidson, Dayton, Fordham, Richmond and St. Bonaventure tied for second in the league with a 96 percent GSR

• Davidson had the most teams in A-10 sponsored sports with a perfect score with 15

TOP FIVE CONFERENCES IN NUMBER OF PROGRAMS WITH PERFECT GSR SCORES

COMMISSIONER’S HONOR ROLL

The Atlantic 10 Conference had a remarkable 3,556 student-athletes receive Commissioner’s Honor Roll distinction for 2021-22. It was the third-highest mark in league history and was the third year in a row the total number of honorees topped 3,500.

There were 281 student-athletes that achieved a 4.0 GPA in 2021-22, representing eight percent of the total number of honorees and nearly two-thirds (an impressive 64.7 percent) of the honorees, equalling 2,299 studentathletes, recorded a 3.5 GPA or better. Additionally, the average number of honorees per school was 254.

During the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, it was notable that 65 percent of the A-10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll honorees were female student-athletes. Title IX greatly expanded the opportunities for women in higher education, including participation in collegiate sports and access to fields of study, which is reflected in nearly twothirds of the honorees being women.

NCAA ELITE 90

VCU’s Adrian Vagberg (Sollentuna, Sweden) is the recipient of the Elite 90 Award for the 2022 NCAA Men’s Golf Championships. The Elite 90 recognizes the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 90 championships

POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Atlantic 10 awarded 14 Postgraduate Scholarships for 2022. The prestigious honor, which totals $70,000, is given to a graduating student-athlete from each of the league’s members.

The class represents eight different sports with an average GPA of 3.72. The selection process involves the league’s athletic directors, senior woman administrators and faculty athletic representatives.

Since 2014, the A-10’s Postgraduate Scholarship program has awarded $490,000 to 94 former student-athletes. Each of the 14 honorees receives $5,000 to contribute towards full-time enrollment in a postgraduate or professional program. Instituted to provide continuing education opportunities for graduating student-athletes, the program returns following a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“These student-athletes have been exceptional in their sport, as leaders among their peers, and have demonstrated academic prowess throughout their careers. We are thankful to have been a part of their undergraduate success and excited to be able to assist with their postgraduate educational expenses.”

NCAA POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP

George Mason rowing studentathlete Natalia Kanos was awarded the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship for the winter of 2022.

Kanos, a native of Jos, Nigeria, also served as the George Mason Student Body President. She double majored in government and international politics and conflict analysis and resolution.

A-10 ADDS MEN’S LACROSSE AS 22ND CHAMPIONSHIP SPORT

“Adding men’s lacrosse to the portfolio of Atlantic 10 sponsored sports provides a home for our four full-time members, who have requested this for several years. Welcoming both High Point University and Hobart College as affiliate members rounds out a strong collection of teams that have been nationally competitive, playing in the NCAA postseason multiple times, with multiple national championship appearances.”

A-10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade

The Atlantic 10 Conference will add men’s lacrosse as the league’s 22nd sport, with conference play and the initial championship taking place in the 202223 academic year. Currently four A-10 institutions sponsor men’s lacrosse as a varsity sport, and will participate in the inaugural A-10 season: Massachusetts, Richmond, St. Bonaventure and Saint Joseph’s.

The Atlantic 10 has also accepted men’s lacrosse affiliate member applications from High Point University and Hobart College, bringing the number of conference teams to six, the minimum number the NCAA requires of a league for postseason eligibility. In the last 10 years, the six men’s lacrosse programs have combined to make 10 NCAA Tournament appearances.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL SNAPSHOT

Regular Season Champion: Dayton Championship Winner: Massachusetts Postseason Participants: Davidson (WBI), Dayton (NCAA), Fordham (WNIT), Massachusetts (NCAA), Rhode Island (WNIT), VCU (WNIT) Championship Link | Awards Link

Dayton collected the program’s third-consecutive Atlantic 10 Women’s Basketball regular-season title during the 2021-22 campaign, compiling a near-perfect 14-1 record within league play as the Flyers managed to hold off Rhode Island down the stretch for the conference’s top seed. A competitive top five composed of Dayton, Rhody, Massachusetts, Fordham and VCU consistently challenged each other throughout the year, with the leading pair notably posting win streaks of 13 games apiece – both served as the longest nationally for a period.

Just a year removed from advancing to the program’s first-ever title game, third-seeded Massachusetts took the next step as a rolling Minutewomen squad clinched their first Atlantic 10 Women’s Basketball Championship, downing No. 1 overall Dayton via a 62-56 mark. Sam Breen, who also scored A-10 Player of the Year honors, was named the championship’s Most Outstanding Player.

The league earned six bids into the postseason with Championship Final contenders Dayton and UMass serving as the conference representatives in the NCAA Tournament. Rhode Island, VCU and Fordham each secured placement in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) while Davidson competed in the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). The Flyers, who locked down the league’s first at-large bid since the 2017-18 season, defeated fellow No. 11 seed DePaul in the inaugural NCAA Women’s First Four.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The regular season began with a series of A-10 in-season tournament titles, including St. Bonaventure winning the Charleston Classic with three straight victories and Dayton earning two wins in the ESPN Events Invitational, including a thriller at the buzzer over No. 4 Kansas.

Switching to league play, it was a battle for first throughout the season, with five teams, Davidson, Dayton St. Bonaventure, Saint Louis and VCU all in contention to win the regular season in the closing weeks. Davidson would eventually capture the title, an eventual swan song for legendary coach Bob McKillop, who retired from coaching in the summer.

MEN’S BASKETBALL SNAPSHOT

Regular Season Champion: Davidson

Championship Winner: Richmond

But it was Richmond and St. Bonaventure which became the postseason darlings for the A-10. The Spiders rolled off four wins, including upsets over third-seeded VCU, second-seeded Dayton and top seed Davidson to win the A-10 Championship. UR wasn’t done, though. Joining Davidson in the NCAA Tournament, and led by super seniors Jacob Gilyard (A-10 Championship Most Outstanding Player) and Grant Golden, Richmond beat fifth-seeded Iowa in the NCAA Tournament First Round. St. Bonaventure had a magic run of its own in the NIT. Early round road wins at Colorado, No. 1-seeded Oklahoma and No. 1 seeded Virginia propelled the Bonnies and their experienced lineup of Osun Osunniyi, Kyle Lofton, Jalen Adaway, Jaren English and Dominick Welch to the NIT semifinals in New York, where a throng of Bonnies faithful showed up to Madison Square Garden to cheer on the Brown and White.

Postseason Participants: Davidson (NCAA), Dayton (NIT), Richmond (NCAA 2nd Round), St. Bonaventure (NIT Semifinals), Saint Louis (NIT), VCU (NIT)

STUDENT-ATHLETES / NAME IMAGE & LIKENESS

ATLANTIC 10 LEADS NATIONALLY WITH NIL EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS

The Atlantic 10 formed multi-year strategic partnerships with TeamAltemus and INFLCR to ensure that league-wide, the membership is prepared to provide educational support to A-10 student-athletes as they navigate their potential to maximize their name, image and likeness (NIL) opportunities. TeamAltemus provides NIL “Protective Education” through a series of conference-wide virtual sessions, while also providing individual institutional sessions for

each member institution. This valuable educational service will also translate to student-athletes’ lives after graduation, providing a strong foundation for wealth management in life outside of the studentathlete experience. INFLCR provided A-10 institutions with the resources and technology necessary to support their student-athletes’ opportunities. The three-tier platform provides educational resources, brand-building techniques and a disclosure technology platform.

2021-22 A-10 STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Student-athletes have a voice in the NCAA through Student-Athlete Advisory Committees (SAAC) at the campus, conference, and national level. The Atlantic 10 SAAC is made up of student-athlete representatives from each A-10 institution that provide insight on the student-athlete experience and offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on campus.

MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVES

The A-10 SAAC launched a Mental Health Video Series in May as part of the national conversation surrounding mental health and its effects on student-athletes. This initiative centered on a nine-part video series featuring interviews between student-athletes and mental health professionals regarding topics of high importance such as depression, anxiety, and the stigma surrounding mental health. SAAC members interviewed subject matter experts on A-10 campuses and created short Q&A videos that seek to answer questions studentathletes may have. With some of their peers overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, the A-10 SAAC representatives hope to defeat mental illness’s negative stigma by addressing these topics through the short videos.

2021-22 SAAC REPRESENTATIVES

CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

The A-10 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee participated in the fourthannual NCAA Diversity and Inclusion Social Media Campaign. Designed around three themes across three days, the campaign (per the NCAA) “is meant to be a week of awareness, education and engagement showing the importance of inclusive environments in college sports.”
