Delaware to CUSA

[WestCoastAggie]

I said it at the time and said it on this forum. The New CAA is junk. Good for Delaware. It was a move that had to be made. Now let's see where the non-junk parts of the New CAA go and let's see if there's any mixing w/Fordham and Holy Cross. And, if so, on whose terms does the potential mixing happen?

Just out of curiosity, who are the junk programs in the CAA?

Yeah, I'll be interested to see that response. Maybe he can add who the junk programs in the Patriot are.

For me, it is Hampton and now Bryant (but at least Bryant is within region). Maybe Hampton was good once upon a time, but it's not within my 15 year frame of memory.
NC A+T has had recent success and Campbell might have potential - but I don't really care to play either regularly. I barely cared to play Elon and that's only cuz they recruit so hard up north.

My land is from Portland, ME to Virginia Beach, VA - and I'd say Pittsburgh is 'pushing it's out west. I'm not really interested in having standing associations outside that range.

Rhode Island may be a long time terrible program, but even these new additions have them a respectable middle of the pack team.

If things don't work out with the Patriot.....America East invites Towson and Monmouth as all sport members, Villanova and URI join as associate football members....and Fordham leaves the Patriot to join as an associate football member.

AE Football:

Maine
UNH
URI
Bryant
Albany
Fordham
Monmouth
Villanova
Towson

The BSC and MVFC schools/teams have continued to get better as the East Coast conferences have not.

Whaddaya guys kidding me? Smilo pretty much already answered it except he forgot one. Either way, I can't believe a William & Mary fan doesn't already know. Seriously?

Depending on your age I'm guessing you've seen UMass, Delaware, JMU, Richmond and Villanova all win chips coming out of your once illustrious league. Yet you don't see the new batch of junk that's been piling of late? Really? Hint, it’s none of those proud teams. I kinda spelled it out a year and half ago in that “CAA is Great” thread or whatever that silly thing was called. So did others. So did others here on this thread (even before Smilo) when talking up Delaware’s reasons for peace-ing out. But you still need to hear it again? Alrighty, sure.

See all those schools the Formerly Proud CAA poached from the Not So Big South? That’s the junk! In London town they call it "rubbish." In Mexico City they call it "los no buenos."

To spell it out, and in chronological order, the list is made up of Monmouth, NC A&T, Hampton, Campbell and now Bryant too. All el stinko grandes. Combined, they have a grand total of 2 FCS playoff wins. Combined, that puts them in a tie with historic cellar-dweller, Rhodey. Combined! It’s also less than many Patsies, including Fordham. Combined, they have 0 FBS scalps. Also less than many Patsies, including Fordham. All together, there’s not a single academic power house on that stinky list. Even when it comes to endowments they combine to be less than each and every single Patsy, including Fordham. It’s a sad little list. Not sure why the CAA went in that direction to begin with.

At least Delaware escaped. Good for them! Let’s hope the other good pieces can break free too

it’s not junk per say, there are a few irritating factors. The Yankee conference was solid and was forced into a conference A-10 then CAA years ago. The stupid ****ing CAA made it so if you joined the CAA for all sports you can automatically plop your football program into the FB conference. Stupid rule, also this allowed the CAA to just worry about basketball and use football as a selling point and we’ve added so many team who honestly no one cares to be in a conference with.

it’s like telling Georgia their conference slate next year includes JMU, UTSA, and UAB. It’s not that Georgia wants to insults those schools, just doesn’t really see the logistics.. like honestly what business does Campbell have being in a conference with Villanova and UNH….

Also it’s not that a conference can’t change and add people but so many that just don’t fit the profile so quick and basically telling the original members of the conference tough ****.. is getting old.
