ive thought the same thing. They won't leave the A10 due to the money and conference payout disparity, but they do seem like perfect fit for the AE, especially as the A10 migrates south and west.

Looking forward to having another Southern schools in the CAA
That's why the CAA wants to go to 14
A northern division of Northeastern, Monmouth, Stony Brook, Hofstra, Drexel, Delaware, and Towson makes sense and is a solid northern FCS mini conference.
...
The AEast's plans got screwed by BU similiarly to how the CAA's plans got screwed by Richmond.
If you could ever find those documents I'd be very interested in seeing them
Queens University is also looking to vote to move to D1.
They were rumored to be in talks with the CAA this past fall.
They would fit the needs of the CAA in a #14 school and as a non football...
I'm rooting for exception. That would be a good sign that Flo is going away after next year
Hadn't seen that one yet....is that being reported anywhere or is in the message board chatter phase?
Same way the Big East did
Bottom 8 would have to win 5 consecutive
5 through 9 would have to win 4 consecutive
4 through 1 would have to win 3 consecutive
Doing it by divisions you...
From an all sports perspective, two geographic 8 team divisions that have little to no interaction with each other wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
If you finish in the top of the...
I have been told repeatedly that the northern most CAA football members do not want that to happen and would not initiate such an action.
In the past the NEC has drawn a hard line of no for schools departing and wanting to stay for football
1. Hampton is willing and able. They can fit the "CAA profile" and they give W&M and 2nd Virginia school. Its slim pickings and they are the best Virginia school on the table that is willing to come...
NC Central taking Hampton's slot makes a lot of sense to me. They may take Norfolk and SC State too and go to 14
The AEast is going to be down to 8 and will likely need to expand, probably with...
With 14 team conferences becoming the norm and the MEAC on the brink of collapse with Howard to the CAA, the Big South adding Norfolk St, NC Central, and SC State makes a ton of sense
Big South...
I assume the southern schools like CoC and UNCW are going to want a southern basketball school like UNCG. Since I highly doubt UNCG is coming from the more prestigious SoCon, Winthrop would make...
They do?
Looking at the OVC footprint, are any D2 public Missouri football schools interested in moving up?
Missouri S&T of the Great Lakes Valley conference or a MIAA school?
They really need to seal the deal with WIU.
If Murray leaves too they are at 5 football.
They must have WIU
WIU puts them back at 6 with football assuming Murray St. leaves too.
Work...
Because sending Volleyball and other non revenue sports to the Dakotas, Minnesota, Denver, and Omaha sucks especially when there is a bus league wanting you and youre close to broke.
The OVC can still meet bare minimum requirements after a possible Belmont and Murray departure if WIU joins
I think UNCG would be insane to leave the So on for the CAA at this point. But if they are willing then absolutely
If CAA schools got paid 8 figures a year like ACC schools did, I wouldnt care about travel or footprint either.
There is a clear north/south divide in this league as noted by how the northern and...
Here is the way I see the best case scenario for the CAA post JMU
Add:
UMBC (willing northern school focused on basketball the Southern schools should accept as they are AEast outlier)
Campbell...
I just don't see how that can work
Even if Stony Brook and Albany would make the jump and Hofstra would allow it without throwing a hissy, UNCW and CoC aren't going to let more northern schools in...
How do you see the CAA looking post JMU?
