So the biggest news from yesterday is that the Pac-12 has opted to remain at 12. That alone will slow up any movement in other conferences. But it was quite an interesting day, with many twists and turns. To sum up the day, here’s a rough timeline of the conference realignment news: Timeline for Tuesday, [...]

My take is simple: if you have problems with your administration, don’t use the media…keep it behind the scenes. You can bet that Majerus would not be complaining about “east coast airports” if St. Louis were in the Big East instead of Marquette. The Billikens would still have to fly to 12 east coast cities [...]

Interesting call. The league is leaving a city, Philadelphia, where it has 3 members for a city 75 miles away from it's closest member, Richmond.

The PilotOnline is speculating that the CAA will eventually expand with Stonybrook and Fordham to bring some regionalization to potential divisions. Fordham is seeking a conference home and Stonybrook currently participates as an associate member in the Big South. If such expansion to 16 teams happened, ideally the division members would play all 7 other [...]

There was an interesting line in an article covering an interview with outgoing Rhode Island president Robert Carothers:“Money has become a huge issue, as in every other department, because of a reduction in state assistance and the overall economic situation. It is likely to lead, Carothers feels, to a change in conference alignments soon, not [...]

After months of speculation, the final details were revealed regarding the interesting Fordham football situation. This information has been revealed with little fanfare. To recap, Fordham let it be known that they want to have football scholarships, something their conference home, the Patriot League, does not allow. The Patriot League didn’t give in on the [...]

Hofstra will explore moving its intercollegiate athletic program out of the southern-based Colonial Athletic Association, persons familiar with the athletic program said Thursday. Hofstra did not say what has prompted its exploration, but it appears the university would prefer to have more of a northeast profile. The Atlantic-10 is Hofstra’s first choice, those close to [...]

For years now, there have been rumblings from Hofstra fans about leaving the CAA. The rationale being that since joining the CAA in 2002, the athletic programs have suffered from being one of the only northern teams in a predominantly southern conference. The ideal move would be to the Atlantic 10, but that is not [...]

”Hofstra’s basketball problem can be traced back to the administration’s ill-conceived notion that its football program would make gains as a conference member in the then-Atlantic 10. It dragged the rest of Hofstra’s athletic teams into the CAA, which was teetering on extinction, and basketball has suffered the most. Even without a strong frontcourt, the [...]
