INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Butler University will begin competition in the Atlantic 10 Conference in the fall of 2012, a year ahead of schedule, athletic director Barry Collier announced today.

Earlier this month, Butler announced that it would leave the Horizon League after 2012-13 to join the A-10, but an accelerated timetable was made possible by both leagues.

Youngstown State competes in the Horizon League in all sports except football.
