-NC A&T: CAA
-Hampton: CAA
-Monmouth: CAA

Murray state is gone. You’ll notice the releases mention that the 2023 leave them out

Murray will be MVFC in 23

Is Duquesne a Big South football member?

That announcement was way back in early January.

Is Duquesne a Big South football member?

Duquesne has been in the NEC at least the last 10 years.

I thought I saw somewhere they were going from the NEC to Big South like RMU. Nevermind, was probably thinking RMU. They were both NEC, Pittsburg area.

Neither of the releases I saw showed what the remaining Big South and OVC teams were. So the new merged conference of the above minus Murray St and Duquesne, which would be 9 teams, might or might not be correct.

A nine-team conference is perfect for football....

Murray has yet to be officially announced as a MVFC addition.

Every release made reference to them moving. Everyone knows they are doing it. It’s just not formally and officially announced yet.

Keep the name Big South.

Expected announcement today.

With the exception of Illinois and SEMO, it looks to be a southern team conference. The travel doesn't look like it's too crazy but there are some long trips there.
