The next CAA commish needs to be a savvy business person who should understand that CAA football
and CAA basketball are vastly different animals.CAA football is a very undervalued product.CAA basketball is mediocre at best and will remain so.

Good listen, 32. Thanks.

not sure what he is really saying, think the top fcs programs were already on a par or even better than a majority of lower level fbs schools, if that was what he was comparing. now, if he is saying that the top fcs schools will be on a par with the old bcs schools, he has been hitting the sauce heavily.

It sounds like to me that he is saying there will be the big 5 as one division, and all of the
rest of the D-1's. FCS and FBS will be another division. The Mid-American schools will be
on the same level as the CAA schools, because finances are forcing the issue.
Take a look at Akron, who just had to lay off 200 people and drop baseball. For the most
part they have a pretty decent D-1 program, but can't afford to keep up.

not sure the fbs low-life's want to be thrown in with us, they have been fleeing us for some time now. agree that they are bleeding money big time but it is the so-called status which they seek. obviously still a lot of landscape changing in the future and no telling what it is going to look like, lot's of agendas out there.

I seriously, try not to think about it, and just sit back and enjoy college football as I want to imagine it.
That's why I love Richmond Spider football.

If Akron moves to FCS does that open a space in the MAC for the Royal Dukes?
Many of their fans have been clamoring to play Western Michigan and Buffalo for years!

Go Spiders!
