It feels good to be back in the NEC
None of the former NEC schools that have continued to grow will ever come back to the NEC, Albany, SBU and Monmouth.
I think you could add Bryant to that list as well.
It will be interesting...

Great News. RMU will be able to compete Year 1 within the NEC for the title and FCS playoff...
If NEC boots SHU and Merrimack as potential associate football members, then obviously this would open the door for RMU to return.
I'm already hearing some rumors from just this news that the NEC 'could' entertain welcoming back RMU football to the NEC.
Interesting. I wonder if the NEC is going to welcome back other teams.

I don't see the NEC coming back to schools they removed. It would look bad. But the NEC has been nothing but a stepping stone conference for schools like Albany, Stony Brook, Monmouth..etc. And it...
The NEC made their bed by shipping out Monmouth first when they jumped to the MAAC after the 2012 season. I know that RMU wanted to stay within the NEC for football but was declined. Since 2020,...
Who leaves the NEC next?
I don't expect a RMU win and hoping that its at least competitive and no injures for either team.
Chiccitt did a nice job at QB last week against SFU. RMU finally has a true #1 WR with Noah...

A little surprised that Bryant would cancel a home game but not sure if RMU did this to get another potential 'money' game.

If GU is throwing up their arms and saying "well there goes the season" then its on them. Like others have said, there could be options to still play other teams.
It will be tough to get games...
I'll be watching for that announcement as well.
Everyone is always looking but never anything official. I'm sure with RMU jumping ship it made other athletic departments go "WTF...we are not traveling there...lol" but then again I'm sure there...
Like it has been said before. RMU is not going to pay Wagner or CCSU to play a home game. I would be shocked if RMU did that. And I would be shocked if Wagner and CCSU took that stance. NEC teams...
I agree to this statement to some degree. When you normally schedule non-conference games against similar like conferences then you expect those home and home match-ups. Playing against larger FCS,...

True. I always thought Georgetown would fit nicely in the NEC for football. Bring that old school MAAC into the league with the Dukes and Hoyas.
That's a great question. I had always thought that if RMU was to leave the NEC for another conference then the Patriot would be a conference to consider. Perhaps they did consider the Patriot...
I have not heard anything yet. I'm sure the athletic department and president are very busy at the moment so not sure reaching out at this moment is the smart choice.
Perhaps they are hoping to...
