I don't like the UMass-Lowell addition at all!!  Is it just me, or doesn't this take the prestige of AE Conference down a notch by dipping into D-II for an addition?  It seems to me that there are probably a number of programs that would like to join a conference with UVM and SBU in it--even if they are not being so outspoken about it quite yet.  Bryant would certainly be a better choice, but any number of programs from NE or MAAC, for example, would be better than UMass (Lowell) IMHO.

My bottom line is that I hope the AE does not rush to make a move until things settle out a little bit more, just to get one or two more additions, unless they're truly quality additions. 

SBU, of course, should take the same approach before prematurely jumping to another conference.  If the program keeps winning the way they have been, many invitations are likely to follow.
