CAA will survive but it's basically turning into Big South 2.0 with a wider geographic footprint. The bigger blow in football would be the New England schools leaving to form A-East Football.
I...

Yawn. People in PL circles love to talk about the "dream" of bringing in W&M, Richmond and Villanova. Yes, Villanova fits the footprint perfectly in football. But 'Nova and Richmond won't do...
They wouldn't.
Or CUSA. The cool thing about being able to get promoted from FCS to FBS is that you don't always have to actually be a good football program. You just need to have to be a big state school in the...
Very true. Unless you count Arizona State or Miami (OH) as being "south", literally there's no one south of Princeton with Men's DI hockey. Alabama-Huntsville had it and dropped maybe 10 years ago?

Would need Men's and Women's Hockey to have the distinction. UMass-Amherst would have claimed the same distinction before going FBS. Hard to believe it's been almost 15 years since they made the...
I couldn't tell if bonarae was joking or not. Yes, both were great hockey programs prior to schools' dropping football. BU doesn't have baseball either.
FWIW, there are only 3 non-Ivy's who play...
That's true now. Had they not dropped football in 1986, they would've ended up in the Big West and then maybe even the Sun Belt (Idaho and NMSU were there) or the WAC in it's waning years. Had they...
I hate that the CAA is on FloSports, as is AHA hockey where Holy Cross plays. I think the reason the CAA partnered with Flo is because ESPN is much stricter when it comes to allowing local cable...
Lafayette has best shot IMO, especially if they can beat Buffalo and Monmouth both on the road in back to back weeks to start the season.
Fordham also has Bowling Green, Dartmouth and Monmouth...
Our presumptive starter did go 2-0 last year, both comeback wins in key must-win league games. Will be interesting to see how he does this fall without Newman and Hanson blocking for him and without...
Definitely an NBA rule as well. I never liked it.
I agree. Although, I did just find out recently that the 2 minute warning was actually instituted in the early days of the NFL, when time was kept by an official on the field using a stopwatch. Since...
My freshman year at HC was the 06-07 PL title run in MBB with Torey Thomas an Keith Simmons. I remember thinking I was seeing the norm when it came to HC basketball expectations in the Patriot...
I'm sure Virginia-Lynchburg will end up on there.
Both of those runs also did coincide with traditional league powers being down during that time. Lehigh and Colgate in football during Holy Cross' football run + Bucknell and Holy Cross in basketball...
I don't think a DI CA school has added football during my lifetime. UC Davis moved up from DII in the early 2000's but that's about it.
From what I've heard, California does have a decent "Friday...
That's still a TV channel?
I like this as an FCS fan who anticipates being a TV viewer. If I'm an SDSU or NDSU fan and my team has a 50/50 chance of actually going, I'm upset because it kind of messes up the ability to make a...
That's the one that hurts. One of my guilty pleasures of the sports calendar is that Friday night in December where there's really nothing on except back-to-back FCS playoff games.
Quarterfinal...
Curran may be the one who faces the most unrealistic expectations. If we're not competing with the Dakota schools by year 3, some of the fan base will begin to get restless. Fortunately, the...
My understanding is that UConn is slowly getting a little bit better year over year. This matchup does remind me of Fall 2021 though. Holy Cross beats UConn 38-28 to to open the season in Storrs. A...
Will the financial windfall from eclipse tourism in Erie be enough to bankroll a nice new downtown arena for Mercyhurst hoops and hockey?
