CCU to the CAA?

[SeawolvesFan90]

We need a few more schools south of ODU to fill that empty void. UNCW and GSU are lonely members down there. I would welcome Campbell and CCU to the CAA. Charlotte would be preferred but not gonna happen. Of course someone is going to have to fill our own void if an invitation is offered for us to join Big Country.

Why not north of Delaware? You got some lonely members up in Maine and New Hampshire...lol

Because they want it to be a totally Southern based league.

South = athletic snobbery
North = academic snobbery

What's a school like Maine or UNH to do?

lol... yeah it seems like they want to go south

[Brock Landers]

I would welcome the Chants... but can you do something about the teal?

You already let in purple and baby blue, I don't think anyone will notice the teal

I think Yeager is very much aware of the northern situation. Stony Brook and Fordham would be great additions.

I also think Hofstra and NE should revisit football.

Are you implying Maine and UNH suck at atheltics and academics?

Fordham isn't going anywhere now that the Patriot league is offering scholarships.

Stony Brook And Albany are the Northern options now. Both make a whole lot of sense if the CAA wants to expand North. Either football affiliates or all-sport members.

But Albany doesn't offer full scholarship for football yet... Wouldn't they have to move up first?

I would be pleased seeing Albany, Maine, SBU, and UNH in the same football conference. It would be fantastic.

How does a North/South Division CAA sound for the rest of you guys? would that be a good idea, or a terrible one?

I don't think it a prerequisite that Albany get to 63 to get a CAA offer.

Albany has been financially ready to offer the additional 23 scholarships immediately. Right or wrong, the AD thought it was best to wait until we had a conference to play in and the Big South wasn't an attractive option when offered a few years ago.

Uh oh, looks like the CAA is jealous of the NDSU BISON and the MVFC's success and is trying desperately to reload. Face it, your best days are best you, and with the exodus of UMass you're libel to never make another semi-finals

Talk to the hand. Why don't you and Lakes' Bi Son go have a threeway with a Bison you dirty pirate hooker.

It's pretty obvious that CAA FB isn't interested in expanding with anything other than existing CAA members, at least for the time being. So unless the CAA decides to expand its league to 14 members and bring in 2 members with full scholarship FB programs & strong Olympic sports programs, there will not likely be any expansion of CAA FB.

Non-CAA members applying for membership to CAA FB must receive the approval of 3/4 of all CAA members, in addition to CAA FB members. Just something to think about.

I completely agree. The point to expand has passed. Unless some additional schools leave for FBS, I don't see any reason for the CAA to add anyone.

That is the culture of this board that a slanderous account like that is allowed to go on by the board admin. The only one buggering bi son is its Glib Dopey. Excuses?

You are the sole voice of reason on this board JBB. Well done!

[henfan]

I think you may be right, Danefan. It's also possible that CAA FB could expand if, say, GMU or VCU adopted FB programs. If CAA FB membership dropped perilously below 7 members that would be the most likely scenario for the conference to look at non-CAA schools for FB membership.
