Sadly, when schools start jumping ship, others will sink.

Would they rework the Celebration bowl to be the SWAC championship instead? Cant see it happening once the MEAC collapses in on itself.

It would be interesting if both DSU and Bethune-Cookman would leave. I doubt if they could get any replacements then.

If invited, DSU would give the NEC 11 members - I would guess a second invite would follow to make an even dozen.

Howard?
Morgan State?

New Haven.

If the NEC adds two eastern seaboard teams like Delaware State and New Haven, don't be surprised if Saint Francis looks to leave.

It wouldn't be easy, mind you. Loretto is rural, doesn't carry a media market, and Saint Francis has mediocre facilities and funding.

But without a travel partner in RMU, the Red Flash are going to be awfully isolated in the NEC.

Where would they go?

They could always join the MEAC.

Their “travel partner” is now Mt. St. Mary’s.

I think the best result for SFU would probably be adding some combo of DSU/Howard/Morgan in the DC/Baltimore area.

The NEC is definitely a I-95 bus league. The MAAC is nearly the same footprint, just a little more centered around NYC + the 2 outposts in Buffalo.

Those Western PA teams (Pitt, DUQ, RMU, Penn St., and SFU) are generally isolated from their peers regardless of the conference.

The Red Flash don’t really have a choice - every league would require East Coast travel.
