second mention of athletics:

our student-athletes and coaches, who have paved the way for
this moment. Our future is bright, and we look forward to
competing for CAA Championships for years to come!"[/quote]
ill be a cynic and say this is lip service, but, this did happen
on her watch and i have to wonder if she was instrumental.

I may be totally wrong, but it does feel like she didn’t
hesitate when the opportunity came. Which can only be good going
forward for future athletics related decisions.

Baseball and Softball teams must be very happy to have
conference games in the warmer south. CAA has teams with strong
baseball traditions.
Should be good for lacrosse teams too. Although I worry about
this year’s post season ban for women’s team.
As for basketball, we took being in the top 4 granted due to AE
having really poor bottom teams. In CAA if we don’t keep up it
will be easy to fall at the bottom.

wlax teams should love this though... something like 9 straight
titles with barely a conference loss. and they werent close.
mlax will help with RPI but that conference is extremely wide
open- any one of 7 teams can win it. it's brutal.
anyone have intel on wbb for CAA?

If there is an AE ban, would wLax be eligible for at-large
invite?

I'm a firm believer that everything starts at the top (whether
good or bad). Given that, kudos to both McGinnis and Heilbron
for getting this done.

Take it with a grain of salt, since there is a lot of animosity
regarding Stony Brook leaving the AE, but on
Basketballforum.com, someone posted this:
================================================================
========================================
Per the league's rulebook, under Section 4, part b:
"Upon notice of an institution’s intention to withdraw from
America East, the institution’s teams become ineligible, on a
date to be determined by the remaining members of the Board of
Presidents, to compete for Conference postseason championships.”
" The rule was put in after Northeastern skipped. The CAA did
the same to Old Dominion and Georgia State."
================================================================
