OT: Ex-AE schools that have axed sports since joining CAA
Drexel: axed baseball, softball and volleyball
Hofstra: axed football
Northeastern: axed football
Towson: rumored to be axing baseball and men's soccer after this season

Only cash rich Delaware has not cut programs since they joined the CAA.

Not sure why this is interesting or worth posting other than the fact that these schools supposedly left for greener pastures yet the move has done nothing to improve these athletic programs (men's basketball specifically) and these 5 schools are something like 0-50+ with ZERO NCAA bids over 10+ seasons.......

Re: OT: Ex-AE schools that have axed sports since joining CAA
A more complete picture would also be the inclusion of all the AE schools that have dropped sports since those teams left for the CAA. I don't think it is conference membership that is driving this trend. This is happening everywhere.

Vermont - baseball, softball and volleyball (added women's ice hockey) (5 NCAA bids.......all since 2002)
Maine - men's soccer and volleyball (added women's ice hockey)
UMBC - field hockey (1 NCAA bid)

You're right........a more complete picture. Vermont with 5 NCAA bids to the ex-AE programs' ZERO during the same time period.

Re: OT: Ex-AE schools that have axed sports since joining CAA
BU has also added Lightweight Women's Rowing. I believe this is the first year of the team.

I'm still chuckling over Vermont's 5 NCAA appearances and ZERO for Delaware, Drexel, Hofstra, Towson and NU during that same time period..........

Hofstra should've had one. 7 years later I still don't know how you can beat George Mason twice the final 11 days of the season and get left out while they get in.

It's very funny how you just love to live vicariously through UVM since your alma mater's hoops program sucks ...

Like how teams like NU live vicariously through George Mason and VCU thinking they are better off.

I remember that team, and remember this like it was yesterday.

I agree with you, I certainly do not have any love for Hofstra, but they got majorly screwed by the committee.

That was the 1 year I was enrolled at schoo, there. I remember for the game @ Hofstra I stood outside the Mack Sports Complex for like 3 or 4 hours to wait to let us in. We really got screwed that year.

Delaware cut sports... I don't know the history, but I remember it being news in the last few years. They have no men's x-c, indoor and outdoor track.
