GW's AD says Atlantic 10 additions could be announced within a month or two

Today there was a statement from an Atlantic 10 athletic director about the conference remaining strong after Temple's departure. George Washington's AD Patrick Nero had this to say to the GW Hatchet:

“I think we all felt like the Temple departure was imminent, and so it’s almost like, whew, that’s over with. Time to move on,” Nero said. “And so we’re moving on and I think within the next month or two, the conference will have some announcements that will show that we’ll be as strong as ever.”

A month or two still might be early for any CAA teams to make any sort of announcement, as we talked about the other day. Still though, his words seem to suggest that they already have confidence strong basketball programs are coming and this is right after this news broke. Certainly adding Butler, VCU, and George Mason would warrant a "as strong as ever" statement. And it makes you wonder what other programs he could be talking about if those new additions aren't from the CAA? This isn't over yet.
