We have had an incredible series with Richmond and Villanova over the past 30+ season.(perhaps not William and Mary as the had our number more often than not). But we are building additional rivalries with Albany, and a resurgent Rhode Island and even Monmouth now. However; without a formal North/South divisional split, I fear more current CAA members may be jumping ship until CAA-Football implodes on itself.
The "implosion" of CAA football occurs if the northern schools leave to form America East Football. The ball is actually squarely in the court of UNH, URI, Bryant Maine and Albany in that regard. CAA is apparently trying hard to get Albany on as an all-sports member so the time window to act is probably very soon.
