Butler University is interested in joining the Atlantic 10 Conference for all sports except football, according to a report Monday afternoon from ESPN.com

The Indianapolis private college could be a candidate to replace Temple University, which is slated to join the Big East in the fall of 2013.

Jim McGrath, spokesman for Butler’s sports department, said the university has not entered into formal talks with anyone about switching conferences. “But, like any college, we’re aware of the changing landscape of college conferences,” he said.

That would be an interesting addition. Thye had an off year this year but I'm sure they will bounce back. Not sure they will make the Final Four though.

Good idea if they can pull it off.
