NCCU to the Big South??
Rumors are going around that due to the MEAC dragging its feet on the issue of re-admitting NC Central to the conference, the Eagles are considering making a bid to join the Big South instead. Any more information on this? Even tho I would rather see them in the MEAC once again, (they WERE one of the founding members), theres nothing worse to see than an FCS school without a conference to call home.
NCCU in the Big South would be great if the MEAC looks like it will drag their feet. It'd help the Big South schools with scheduling (especially if Stony Brook leaves at the end of the deal) for the short term while still allowing NCCU to have a lot of flexibility to schedule MEAC and HBCUs.
NCCU could always move to MEAC later if that chance exists.

why wouldnt it... nccu wants to get in a conference that is good regionally and has an auto bid... if the meac doesnt want them then the big south makes perfect sense to me...

Because the Big South won't take Central.

If they need another school to keep the new autobid, and no other options are there, they'd take them.
It is unfortunate when a school makes the jump and finds themselves without a home. Longwood has really had the worse deal - Big South rolled out the welcome mat and when Longwood said okay, BSC answered "sorry, we only want football schools now." But NC Central not yet in the MEAC is a close second.
The Big South, from what I've heard from within the league, might consider NCCU indeed. We'll see. Not a bad fit in my opinion. Central has always enjoyed solid support and has a rich history in several sports.
One word, WHY?
I'm still bitter from NC Central screwing us last year.
They're a traditional school. Of course our joke of a commissioner would take them. I think he's tried to convince every DII school in NC, SC, and GA to move up and come into the Big South.
I can't stand that guy.
