Not sure how everyone defines elite but the CAA has 6 members that rank in the top 100 or close of national universities from latest rankings:
W&M
Northeastern
Elon
Stony Brook
Delaware
Drexel...

I did read it and thought the premise was ludicrous - that joining this confederation of schools was somehow going to raise the interest of potential students in Florida and Texas - as if those...

This isn’t GoHens where alternate views are not allowed. It sounds to me it’s your Prez and AD are the ones spreadin bull.

I don’t mean to pick any of the UD fans here. I just think it’s part of what’s wrong with college athletics today and a huge mistake at a respected rival. I can’t believe anyone with a map and...

Your AD said it was about money ( which you seem to be running short) and marketing. Delaware was also one of the most outspoken against the CAA’s adds into North Carolina. Someone needs to get their...

Part of the collateral damage of this absurd conference shift. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just cut the program. Unless their football program immediately wins into top 25 status, hard to see how...

W&M

8 CAA games

Campbell is closer to Raleigh than Kennesaw to Atlanta.

I’ve seen your jokes and like them. You keep them light over there.

Agree, nothing but respect for Virginia schools which is certainly reciprocated toward UD. My point was the distaste for Campbell as example while then joining a league with Kennesaw / come on.

This isn’t Gohens.net where you have to tow the narrative or get attacked. Between Tresolini and GoHens, you can’t pretend the attitude toward southern schools wasn’t mocked. It’s there for anyone to...

I don’t agree with that. UD fans and press mocked the CAA expansion into North Carolina. So you have issues with Campbell and NC A&T but fine with Kennesaw and Jax state? Not buying their desire for...

The problem with Towson is a fan base, or lack there-of. They typically average about 5,000 per game. Despite the FBS attendance requirement being dismissed, no level headed administrator is going to...

Steamed? Maybe embarrassed. The MAC isn’t perfect but for a Northern/mid Atlantic university, it sure makes a lot more sense than CUSA. I wouldn’t mind if W&M made a run if an open spot. But they...

Sorry Carib but I think FCS will survive without Delaware. At least we’re still playing traditional rivals and violins on Saturday vs a bunch of made up schools in a conference covering three time...

I’m not sure I’d credit Idaho or UMass with the balls to move up. They both seemed idiotic and remain so.

Wacky and faraway FBS conference? Isn’t that the very conference we’re talking about, CUSA?

I like these games UD is announcing but I think this has gotten a bit off track. These are OOC games....

I’m sure but suddenly having league games in El Paso and Ruston Louisiana will have more than triple expenses. If I were a UD fan, I would be more concerned with the impact on the fanbase if you...

If they were joining the ACC, sure. Im not convinced CUSA is going to suddenly explode new dollars into the University during the period of Bidenomics (the irony).

Wrong place, wrong time. That’s...

That sounds alarming though to what degree is anyone’s guess. The AD said the move was all about money and marketing growth so she must have sold it well internally.

I don’t think it would make...

Tresolini talk

I don’t understand why either would would exit the NEC. It is the perfect spot for their programs, particularly football. It’s not like they have better options waiting out there.

Big hurdle met at W&M on latest athletic fundraising.

Wrong on multiple fronts. W&M and Richmond left the So Con in 1977, six seasons before the split. The reason they left is the So Con began expanding west (TN) and further south. The effort then was...

The Chestertown route is very scenic and goes through some beautiful old historic towns.

The drives south are pretty easy, basically to Greensboro and Raleigh. Both are nice weekend destinations,...

Done Richmond to NY many times and always take 301 into MD, over the Bay Bridge which is stunning every time, then about 10 miles over, I think it’s route 124 up through Chestertown and into Elkton....
