===A-10 schools in DI-A/FBS=== A-10 charter members Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, West Virginia, and Villanova played I-A football as independents while members of the A-10 in other sports. Villanova became a member of the [[Big East Conference (1979β2013)|Big East]] in 1980 with Pittsburgh following in 1982. Temple joined the A-10 that year. Penn State joined the [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] in 1991 (effectively in 1993), and three A-10 members joined the Big East as football-only members: Rutgers, West Virginia, and Temple (only Rutgers and West Virginia would later join the Big East as full members in 1995). Virginia Tech joined the A-10 in 1995 as a result of the merger that created [[Conference USA]]. They would then join the Big East as full members in 2000, following the football program which was already a member of the league. Temple remained a football-only member of the Big East until 2004; they would join the [[Mid-American Conference|MAC]] for football in 2007 until 2012, and re-joined the Big East in football for the 2012 season. Temple planned to move the rest of its sports into the Big East in 2013, but the [[2010β2013 Big East Conference realignment|conference realigned]] into the football-sponsoring [[American Athletic Conference]] and a new [[Big East Conference|non-football Big East]]. Temple joined The American. [[UMass Minutemen football|Massachusetts]] joined them in FBS football with membership in the MAC beginning in the 2012 season and as an FBS independent beginning in 2016. Charlotte, which started a football program in 2013, left for Conference USA and eventually joined The American in 2023. {| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" |A-10 schools in DI-A/FBS |- !Schools currently in the A-10 !Schools formerly in the A-10 |- |Massachusetts |Penn State |- | |Pittsburgh |- | |Rutgers |- | |Temple |- | |Virginia Tech |- | |West Virginia |- | |Charlotte |}
