I know this may be a little naive from the perspective of likelihood, but the thought that keeps recurring in my head is that the CAA and AE should merge. I've done the overlays on paper for football, basketball, lacrosse and even some others. It makes a lot of sense--to me, anyway!!
Both BB and FB could be appropriately divided into North and South divisions. For football, there would be 12 teams, 6 ineach division. For BB, there would be 19 teams, 10 in the North Division and 9 in the South (for now). Some great new conference rivalries would emerge: e.g., SBU/Hofstra, UMBC/Towson, Northeastern/UMASS-Lowell.
In light of the substantial overlap of the two conferences which already exists, I think the merger would certainly solidify the stability of the conference and make it more appealing to fans. Thoughts???
