CAA clause on competition is eye opening for schools

CAA wants to expand, however, way they treated JMU, (a national power) is ridiculous. So the quicker schools like Delaware can leave the better.

Also, I bet that clause is also hurting their ability to get other teams to join. They were interested in Hampton and Howard, however, I think the clause is causing problems with new members.

If there was another choice, I bet Richmond and William and Mary would look...

Middle Tennessee will remain in C-USA. WKU would go to MAC if offered. -- HOO86 11/10/2021 11:46AM

MAC has now announced no expansion at this time. -- HOO86 11/10/2021 6:12PM

Well given the way the current bylaws are set up, the MAC would be -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 7:35PM

I can't believe the MAC invited a school that was unsure -- mrcaniac 11/10/2021 6:35PM

Maybe they were planning to take it, but another Conference reached out? -- Stech 11/11/2021 06:16AM

Possible -- mrcaniac 11/11/2021 3:21PM

The MAC makes sense for WKU particularly if Buffalo decided to leave -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 11:54AM

Buffalo to Akron is about 3.5 hours - same as VT to Richmond -- PadrosWindup 11/10/2021 9:54PM

Buffalo may be a better fit for the AAC, CAA, American East, -- VTHokie2000 11/11/2021 01:15AM

Yes western ky and bowling green is a nice set for the mac -- Mercury 11/10/2021 1:57PM

Given where Bowling Green is located within KY, it looks like Miami (OH) -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 2:01PM

Bowling Green is in OH ** -- obguthr 11/11/2021 07:30AM

Western Kentucky is located in Bowling Green, KY though ;-) -- VTHokie2000 11/11/2021 07:32AM

Maybe Delaware -- Truthahn 11/10/2021 12:07PM

Interesting about Delaware, since some think they & Towson are Sun Belt -- Stech 11/10/2021 7:04PM

I thought CAA was targeting Monmouth to replace JMU -- Truthahn 11/10/2021 12:49PM

Hampton, Howard and Monmouth were all listed by the Roanoke Times.** -- Stech 11/10/2021 7:02PM

Hampton is trying to do what Tenn State did a long time ago -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 7:21PM

Monmouth is a football-only member in the Big South and a -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 1:07PM

Or the remaining CAA members vote to change the bylaw -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 12:42PM

Only schools leaving a conference think bylaws are unfair -- mrcaniac 11/10/2021 4:16PM

Exactly. Now I will say I did find out more background history -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 4:23PM

NCAA bylaws says they are ineligible too -- mrcaniac 11/10/2021 6:22PM

Yes, I know what the bylaws say. However, that is a moot issue -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 7:06PM

DE would be on an even more of an island given it is located -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2021 12:14PM
