While moving up to the FBS  level is probably in our distant  future going to the CAA first is probably what is going to happen.   We would be a perfect fit with lax and strong baseball and soccer programs.  Basketball is improving in leaps and bounds.  VCU and  George Mason are in the CAA and would destroy us right now in hoops.  Alot has to be done first with infrastructure to expand our stadium, continue to build our fan base and of course funding.   CAA football  would bring in top caliber home games and still give us at least one BCS game a season.  I dont think  we are built as a Univerrsity to be  a Penn St. or Uconn. Stranger things have happened in sports but joining the CAA would be a giant step for us with little downside.  We are  really on a fast track with new facilities, top quality student athlets coming in and our coaching staffs. We see that with winning programs and AEChampionships and NCAA  appearances. We will  get there I'm sure but just not yet. Baby steps first.
