William & Mary and Richmond were members of the SoCon but left the conference when the 1A / 1AA spilit occured - neither team wanted to go to the lower Sub-Division. So they both stumbled along as 1A Independents unable to convince either the ACC or SEC to let'em in. Finally, in desperation, they suffered the indignation and scorn of fellow Virginians and joined something called the YANKEE Conference and committed to 1AA level football.
