In such a scenario you could have A-East Football with the following:

UNH
Maine
URI**
Albany
Stony Brook
Holy Cross
Colgate
Fordham**
Monmouth** (maybe they'd leave the MAAC in all sports but idk)

** - denotes affiliate members

CCSU and/or Merrimack would be in there if they left NEC for A-E as all-sports members

In that scenario, I'd have Bucknell, Lafayette and Lehigh going to the CAA and Georgetown to the NEC as a football affiliate.

Why would the Patriot League ever break up?
