JMU has over double the undergrad population that Maine does.

Good grief.....what are you guys so bent out of shape over?

UNH - In-State tuition: $19,112 Out-of-State: $38,882

Maine - In-State tuition: $12,606. Out-of-State: $35,346

So you guys are...

Glad we can agree on something.....have fun with your new mates Kennesaw and Jacksonville State!

I don't give a fly F about Bernie Madoff or your half baked tangent.


Some schools finance their athletic department with student fees....some don't. Deal with it.

When a bill is broken down.....you see where your money is going. I would think you being a blue blood Delaware guy that you would understand that...no?

Not sure why you dunces don't get that...

So JMU's $5,662 student fee ($2,362 to athletics) is just fuzzy accounting?

You are incorrect. Also.....ask the students if there is a difference in their bills.

Maine does not charge a "student fee" to support its collegiate athletic program.....that's a fact. As a public university it absolutely receives funds from the State of Maine.

The original post...

Interesting to compare CAA schools.....

Student Fee Subsidies:

Towson - $17,872,941
William & Mary - $15,805,578
UNH - $13,315,230
Stony Brook - $9,718,977
NC A&T - $9,479,012
Albany -...

So could they do it or not? The only barrier I see is ponying up $5 million each.

It's too bad that ODU/JMU/UMass/Delaware weren't on the same page at the same time.....opportunities lost.

Had the future been known at the time.....the CAA should have attempted to go FBS as a...

That is incorrect. Vermont has been better than URI for 2 decades.

URI IS an America East program....playing in a Big East facility. AE is not a downgrade outside the strength of the top of the A-10.....and a much better fit for all other sports including travel.

UMass won’t be joining Delaware….they are going to the MAC.

Yeah they could have had at least one of the AE ADs be from Albany, Bryant, UNH or Maine.

And if that happens.....America East makes a play for Stony Brook, Monmouth and Towson.

The CAA sure wasn't the place for them either. In fact right now the CAA isn't a good place for most of the football playing schools. I'm sure that Hampton and Bryant are happy though.

Sure Jan.

This^^^

Maine gets:

Carter Peevy - QB from Mercer
Mo Irefin - WR from St. Vincent (D3 All-American)
Mason Gilbert - TE from Lafayette
John Olmstead - OL from Lafayette

They can steer themselves into the ground as far as I'm concerned. F the BIG and SEC!

It's funny how some just don't want to play by the rules....any rules. Once you lose "the rules"....parameters that define existing lines in the sand.....it becomes anarchy and everything goes into...

There is a good answer for some. America East Football would bring together Maine, UNH, Albany & Bryant under 1 league and tight regional umbrella....affiliate possibilities are URI (likely),...

TE Mason Gilbert (Lafayette) ---> Maine

Agreed. Hockey and football are the top 2 sports at these schools. Joining the MAAC does nothing for either sport. They could have grown their programs in the NEC and maybe eventually parlay their...
