Wouldn't this be called 'courting'?

Christopher Newport leaves the USAC for the CAC


Penn State-Harrisburg leaves the NEAC for the CAC


I interpret these moves by the CAC as an effort to earn Pool A football bid over the next several years.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Don't read into that, Ralph... they aren't that close. And there are no guarantees that those who have football and CAC teams would be willing to leave their conferences for a CAC football conference.

But more importantly, the numbers don't add up.

First off, PSU-Harrisburg doesn't have football and hasn't announced any plans to (though, doesn't mean they aren't exploring the idea... who knows).

That leaves the following schools in the CAC that have football: Christopher-Newport, Frostburg State, Salisbury, Southern Virginia and Wesley. Even if Harrisburg added football you are only at six schools... not enough for an AQ which certainly wouldn't entice any of the CAC member to leave AQs and join a conference that didn't. I also can't imagine who they would pull in or steal from another conference to make that work - everyone around them is in stable conferences.

If the Landmark can't get a football thing going with its eventual six members... I highly doubt the CAC could pull it off as well.

Nothing like an eight hour drive on a good day between Alfred State and Christopher Newport :)

Salisbury goes to Alfred ... this is what schools will do for access to a football automatic bid.

This will likely be the last year for NYU-Polytech as an independent athletic program.  They are headed toward merging with NYU in 2013-2014.

Also keep in mind the overall conference/region changes.

- WIAC (men) move to the Central Region (renamed) - women are already there
- HCAC (men) move to the Great Lakes Region - women already there
- CSAC and MAC Freedom conferences moved to the Atlantic Region
- Landmark and CAC conferences officially placed in Mid-Atlantic Region (couple of stranglers on the men's side in the Atlantic - half of the women in the Atlantic)
- NEAC officially moved into the East Region (had been spread across many regions)

I think that is it off the top of my head...

Is that why there are fewer chatters this year on those websites? :o

Does Coach Donohue(Catholic) lose his national board spot because his school changes regions?

Sleeping with the fishes, no doubt.

UW-Superior is leaving the WIAC for the UMAC in the '15-'16 academic year. I know everyone knows that, I never get a scoop, but it's not on the list.
