The conversation was before Kye Robinson actually declared he was going into the portal but the subtext was there when I asked my questions.

Kye Robinson has since announced that he will now return to Mary Washington for his junior season.

If there's a federal government shutdown this week, would Coast Guard football & other sports have to halt operations?

The remaining ACAA schools are coming into the CAC to create a national conference which will be renamed.

The eastern schools will continue to look for alternatives as time goes on. This conference is a "mess" (lovingly stated, of course)

The merged CAC is the definition of an alliance of convenience but a necessary one until if/when alternatives become available. The move to Massey ratings for tournament seedings in the CAC, so the former ACAA & CAC teams don't have to play each other in regular season, could become an eventual model for non-revenue sports across all NCAA divisions. The ACAA schools already weren't required to play each other of course.

And we just got a big one with the remaining ACAA schools folding into the CAC which will be renamed.

And the CAC is already on the Pool A clock now because they have just 6 this season. They'll be in Pool B in 21-22 if they try to survive so they don't have the luxury of having plenty of time to bolster their ranks.

Assuming St Mary's is the one who will make the announcement (since the three listed in the post prior didn't include them) I think the best fits for the remaining schools geographically would be CNU and Mary Washington to the ODAC and Salisbury to the CC.

One problem with that is CNU, Mary Washington, and Salisbury are state schools, and all the schools in the ODAC are small private colleges. Same issue with the USA South, the Centennial, and the Atlantic East. The only option for these schools might be joining the Allegheny Mountain or North Eastern conferences. Either way, Mary Washington and CNU would be WAY outside the footprints of the conferences.

Mary Washington wouldn't be significantly further away than St. Mary's for the NEAC at this point. Christopher Newport would have a much tougher go of it. Any port in a storm though.

Down to 3 or 4?

Three. St. Mary's (MD) announced that it would join the NEAC, effective 2021-22.
