IboSBU .. i agree with moving all sports to The A10, but SB just
got in the CAA so a total move in the a10 is not feasible .. I
wonder if Fiore thought about this long and hard before
committing SB Football to the CAA and leaving the others ports
in the AE..Fiore Had to Know Hofstra was going to block him from
completely being a full member. Could our backs be against the
wall now?

Hammertime... When I say all sports to A10, I mean except
football and lacrosse because A10 does not sponsor those two
sports. Similar to what URI, Nova or Umass are doing. URI play
all sports in A10 exxcept football in CAA. NOVA plays all sports
in Big east except football in CAA. UMass plays all sports in
A10, football in MAC and lacrosse in CAA.
I think we should stay put in AE for the time being and get some
name recognition first by going to the dance few times. Then
move to A10 for all sports except football and lacrosse in CAA.
For now AE is fine and probably we can increase our value like
Davidson.

Final Sagarin rating of CAA in hoops was 17th; AEC was
19th....not much difference, and not much to jump to!

Pains you? Really? have you though about what the CAA offers?
Realtime RPI has the AE at 22nd in RPI, CAA at 24th...
No thanks

Ugh, i just wish this whole conference nonsense thing didnt
happen. Back in the day, sure teams moved around, but now its
to the point where conferences are "commoditized". Its whoever
has value as a member, you jump now, and if the conference needs
you, its a deal. I mean, we are at the point (im looking at you
Big East) where teams promise to move to a conference and then
agree to go elsewhere before they even start competing in that
conference. Its insane.
In the old days, conference affiliation meant something. Like
schools, in like regions, with like students, and that created
rivalries. Much like the Ivy is now. I respect how that
conference has held it together.

money ( or Capitalism, greed, etc) ends up corrupting every
sector of society if its left without regulation and that does
not exclude intercollegiate athletics. A large group of school
need to get together and regulate themselves on what's right and
wrong for the best of all. This is only hurting college athletes
and the fans.
Or maybe the Government can come in a regulate the collegiate
landscape
