I've said it before and I'll stick by it, I'm not high on the CAA. It's simply another one bid league and a more competitive one at that. We're better off being a game or two away from a tourney appearance yearly in the AE, then losing in the first round of a more competitive CAA tournament. Until it becomes a multibid league again I'm not interested. The A10 is a different animal though. The CAA will be even weaker once JMU leaves for an FBS all sports conference. Perhaps then we'll get the call along with Albany,but IDK if we should bite then. It's not a worthwhile move if you ask me.


The CAA has 10 members, usually conferences require a 2/3rds or 3/4ths vote to admit a new member. Hofstra alone can't block us, but if another school like say Northeastern joined them out of fear of regional competition, and then College of Charleston didn't want to add another member up north, those three together could have been enough to end our consideration. It's not hard to form a coalition against schools like this. Serves them right though. Hofstra can stay in a dying CAA. I could see them coming back to the AE begging (along with Delaware) once JMU leaves the CAA.

I still disagree. Do you realize the AE is constantly always at the bottom as far as conference strength is concern!!!! I would think SB could attract better athletes if their sports programs played in the CAA. You have no idea if JMU is going to move up to the CAA anytime soon. I see SH wanting SB to move up to FBS before JMU does...
