~90% acceptance rate, ~1000–1200 middle 50% SAT, ~60% graduation rate. Those are VCU-like numbers.
Last year, Campbell's football team was stocked with BCS and G5 transfers. Campbell, like Albany, has the opportunity to be an outstanding FCS team. UR, not so much.

LOL!! Last year......we beat them 44-13. Their head coach last year resigned after never winning more than 6 games in 11 seasons.
 
Regarding FCS playoffs, need to look at percentage of conf. schools that get bids. So Patriot gets 2 out of 8 in & CAA gets 4 bids out of 15/16 schools, then that is a push.

With our recent records,playoff selections,financial strength,,UR
is the best looking girl at the debutante ball whose Daddy is rich.
We could have been a member of any FCS conference,except of course
the Ivy League whose membership is a closed society.
We have given the Patriot League an immeasurable uplift to its football conference.
In return,we negotiated things that we wanted and for which other Patriot league coaches should be thankful.
 
There are 3 FCS conferences, the MVFC, the Big Sky, and the CAA,that get most of the playoff bids. That won't change when UR leaves the CAA.

Does being #5(out of eight members) in the Patriot League in terms of funding really indicate a UNWAIVERING COMMITMENT TO FOOTBALL???
Typical UR spin. I also question the Endowment figures as being low-balled with the run up in markets and the professional management of Spider Financial Corp or whatever it is called.

How do those football budgets compare to the current CAA?

Just for lack of being able to find a better place to put it.

Here are the top 10 FCS to FBS transfers according to this site anyway. Interesting that the CAA had the top three and the article starts mentioning they will do a separate article about the QBs but mentions three that might be the starter for their FBS teams.

Too Holy Cross's credit they had two in the article if you count the QB they had move on, but the CAA had the other two QBS. CAA also had the top 3 at all other positions, one of which unfortunately is a former Spider recruit.
