If the CAA can't get 3 SoCon schools to commit..........Stony Brook, Albany and UNH are still in play.

You're probably right...but man, the CAA just doesn't really seem as appealing as it once did.

For some reason Maine is considered to be much different than UNH geographically, academically and athletically. That might not be the reality, but it is certainly how Maine is perceived down in the CAA.

The AE had one of the lowest RPI's in the country. Guess where that goes now that BU will be gone. If SBU leaves then the AE will battle it out in the play-in game forever....

Honestly, there really is no need to do that. Unless the AEast was going to sponsor football, it really doesn't have to happen that way. However, if as Jeff just pointed out that suddenly SB, Albany & UNH went to the CAA as all-sports members, Maine would be begging & pleading with the NEC for sure. To be honest, if those schools all left, I really don't know what Maine would do as they just aren't very appealing to another conference.

The silver lining is if SBU, Albany and UNH were to go to the CAA for all sports........it probably signals the beginning of the end for the CAA.

UNH can't afford the move to the CAA. They turned down the PL, got Albany and SBU added for football and are happy in the Aeast.

Good point about the cost factor...they would certainly add some flights to the schedules of all their teams that's for sure. With the schools that have bolted the CAA, there isn't much doubt that the NCAA Tournament money will be diminishing as well.

And that is really the key thing. Most of us fans look at this stuff from a different POV than collegiate administrations do. For them it is really all about 2 things:

1. $$$
2. Academics

It's definitely not.

The ESPN article I linked to alluded to it, but a move to the CAA isn't exactly obvious for the teams the CAA would like to add- if it was, they would have jumped already. Some people will try and tell us the CAA hasn't added all-sports members because it's being strategic and selective, but c'mon....you really think that's the case lol. They are having a hard time finding quality members.

That being said, the CAA does have that NBC TV deal, which is a great move by whomever landed that on the CAA's end before VCU and ODU bolted.
Anyone know if NBC has considered trying to get out of that deal since VCU and ODU left?
