Any rumors of HBCU schools moving to new conferences or up or down in classification?

Interesting. Real interesting.Quote:
The only wild card in the schedule is Hampton. The Pirates, who have been MEAC title contenders in recent years, in November announced a move to the Big South, to be completed in July. A source in FAMU's athletic department said the Pirates are looking to immediately drop their MEAC schedule.

Great year as far as attendance for HBCUs in 2017
That’s kind of crappy to leave the rest of the league in the lurch like that.

I'm not an expert on scheduling, but how can Hampton get by with that? Don't they normally have to wait at least a year? Pretty hard to fill in those open dates for MEAC teams. Isn't there at least a monetary penalty?
