FB: New England Small College Athletic Conference

Ok we got a ninth NESCAC game, then playoff eligibility and expansion of roster limits. The next battle, at some point in the future, is probably a 10th (non league) game- but why push the envelope on this now. Enjoy the concessions we have seen in the NESCAC, all of which were never expected by NESCAC pundits especially given the time frame in which these concessions were made. Take the W for now instead of demanding things and filing lawsuits.

If Trinity, Wes and Tufts want a higher ceiling they should lead a move reinstate the UAA Football alignment with UChicago, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, Rochester, and Wash U.  Tufts and maybe Wes are actually more closely aligned with these UNIVERSITIES.

Why kill the golden goose with some hastily structured lawsuit. It's still the NESCAC folks and I wouldn't try to push on this now. Further, not a time to look for expansion as budgetary cuts are flying in the Ivies which means they are probably imminent in the NESCAC as well. I'd be more concerned about cuts at this point.
