There’s been a number of rumors floating around of late to share: Charlotte to CAA (football only) & App St. to CUSA. Note, that these are just rumors. But I’ve heard them and have now seen multiple sites discuss them as well. So here’s the breakdown: Charlotte & CAA Football: The CAA is in an [...]
When fellow in-state and Colonial Athletic Conference rival Old Dominion added football, it started some discussions about the sport at the Richmond school. Fast forward a few years and the CAA Football conference is now poised to replace schools that dropped football, Northeastern and Hofstra, with Old Dominion and Georgia St. The conference still includes [...]
Richmond Times-Dispatch reporter, John O’Conner reporting that URI will join the NEC in 2012. According to O’Conner, URI would leave for the NEC, which get’s an automatic playoff bid next season. URI has struggled for sometime in the CAA and A10 before that. The move would put them in a better regional footprint for football, [...]
Somewhat surprised by this move. In the wake of Northeastern dropping football, yet another former America East and current CAA member has dropped football. You have to wonder that had both schools remained in a northeast based conference rather than moving to the southern CAA, that they would have been able to keep football. More [...]
On Wednesday’s final radio show for the season, Delaware coach KC Keeler said that the CAA has scrapped the proposed 11 team schedule plan (since #12 team Northeastern has dropped football). He said the CAA is now in favor of adding a football-only member. Regarding what school would be added, he said “someone from the [...]
A college conference commissioners job is to have foresight. CAA commish Tom Yeager dropped the ball on this one. In what he considered a coup less than 4 years ago, the CAA brought in Northeastern as a member. In doing so, the CAA now had 6 schools that sponsored football…enough to sponsor the sport as [...]
PilotOnline article proposing a potential expansion of the CAA with Fordham and Stonybrook. This would put 8 northern schools in a division (Maine, UNH, Northeastern, UMass, URI, Fordham, Hofstra and Stonybrook) and 8 schools in a southern division (Villanova, Delaware, Towson, Richmond, JMU, William & Mary, ODU and Georgia St.). It’s not that much of [...]
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 [...]
