Yeager says that even if University of Rhode Island rejoins the CAA for 2013 its very unlikely there will be a North/South division. Having a Conference Championship game
at the FCS is disallowed according to the talk

It's not that it's disallowed (the SWAC has one and despite not participating in the playoffs, they are still FCS), it's just that you can't schedule it and still play the playoffs, unless you want to remove everyone's bye week or play one fewer regular season game.

No...it's actually disallowed.

I have reviewed this in the past. You cannot have a conference championship game and play in the playoffs. It has NOTHING to do with the playoff timing or bye week.

Huh, interesting. Does it say your conference can't have a championship game or you can't play in it? I thought there was a little buzz about the SWAC #3 getting an at large this past year.

I also can't find an FCS rule book anywhere online.

I'll take the playoffs over a conference championship any day!

While you may not be able to have a championship game to crown a league champion, you may still have divisions for scheduling purposes. Have a team play each team in its regional division every season to cut down on travel expenses and rotate any additional league games versus teams from the other division. Continue to use the current format to select your champion without a playoff.

They are not committing to divisional play because of Delaware. We all know that they run the show over there. They do not want to be stuck in the North and do not want to be in the opposite division as Villanova. If they went to a divisional scheduling format, either Nova or Delaware would have to placed in the North now that "Northern" sacrificial lamb Georgia State is gone.

For those that haven't followed the CAA as closely as I have, what Delaware wants........Delaware gets. That being said, I have no doubt that the Northern teams will be playing the Northern teams.

(a) Games scheduled as to the identity of a participating college before the beginning of the regular football season
of the institution for any academic year, including not only games for which the identity of one participating
college is known, but also one for which the institution’s opponent is not known at the time of scheduling;
(b) Any football game scheduled between two colleges [which is to be played on a common and regular open
date (as defined in Bylaw 18.02.3) of their regular football seasons, on the campus or in the regular playing
stadium of either team], even if it is scheduled after the beginning of either participant’s football season;
(c) Games that are part of the NCAA championship; (Revised: 12/15/06)
(d) Games that are part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics football championships;
(e) A conference championship game on an open date during the traditional fall season, provided the game is

and provided the game is listed on the schedules of all conference members; and
(f ) Licensed postseason bowl games that meet all requirements and conditions set forth in Bylaw 18.7.2. (Revised:

Seems like it is legal?

But because it must be listed on every team's schedule, that would either eliminate every team's bye week, or limit each team to a ten-game regular season, costing many of them a home game; that is the championship game must be scheduled in place of, not in addition to, a regular-season game.

Right, which is what I thought. Danefan (who is generally knowledgeable about things he says he is knowledgeable about) seemed to believe that it was out and out disallowed.

WOW- Loyola(MD)I guess the PL entrance academic standards aren't as tough as some would want to have you believe. That being said, seems like a good fit overall in terms of everything else- enrollment size, geography, etc. Makes sense for Loyola (MD).
