They could also get more schools to make that move since it would get them out of that monster football conference, not to mention making it easier to get an at-large bid to the AFKA 1-AA playoffs.Nathan Bricehttp://live.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491810275943709931.post-69666003814996636112009-11-02T12:28:23.908-08:002009-11-02T12:28:23.908-08:00I would be shocked if Hofstra returned to the America East and gave up their CAA afilliation. And yes Fordham and Stonybrook have a ways to go in football but in other sports they would hold their own in the CAA. Interesting idea though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491810275943709931.post-11792068696252244322009-10-23T21:41:53.419-07:002009-10-23T21:41:53.419-07:00Stony Brook and Fordham are not ready to compete at the CAA level. As to the two northern members of the CAA - Northeastern and Hofstra - words on the street is that Hofstra would consider a return to the American East. At that point, Northeastern is probably done with the CAA.<br /><br />Also, Northeastern has entertained the thought of dropping football.<br /><br />At 8 and 8, the CAA is as stable as the last 16 super conference.bevonoreply@blogger.com
