How to leave a conference in 30 days....

Step 1. Unequivocal denial two weeks prior to prospective conference annual meeting, while in the same breath say your open to all possibilities.

Step 2. Prospective conference has annual meeting.

Just wanted to give some honest input here. Five years ago, when the CAA was a powerhouse, if you had told me that Albany and Stony Brook were aspiring to be CAA members I would have laughed. The two programs have committed to facilities and actual football excellence and they're nothing to laugh at anymore and I welcome them.

That being said, Monmouth? To the CAA? :rofl:

Is Monmouth even accredited? ;)

Monmouth is a quiet private school in the Jersey Shore. Their stadium consists of stands on one side of the field only, and it has a track. This would be a mistake for the CAA now.

I went to the ODU-Monmouth game there in 2010. I don't remember those seats.
Here is another pic that does not show the seats. :?

They photo shopped in the endzone seats to make it looks like the stadium holds 500 instead of 400.
