TSU88 1,070 Report post Posted January 18, 2022 Seems like a good get for both football & MBB. Gives some geographic balance to go along with the northernmost members of the conference. Also gives the conference a footprint in NJ, FWIW. Fun fact, with the addition of Monmouth, the CAA, in terms of football and basketball, now will have a member institution in everyone of the original 13 colonies, except…? Class, for extra credit, can anyone answer this question? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question becomes which division do we wind up in. Are we the southern most northern school, or the northern most southern school?🤔🤷♂️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are we the southern most northern school, or the northern most southern school?🤔🤷♂️ You guys beat me to it. 12 hoops teams means tougher to get the 1 bid. 14 even more so. 10 and 12 I feel like are good number especially for the tournament and league play. Balanced but I am for full members. Not some sports in some out. Stony Brook does help with other sports Edited January 19, 2022 by TuTigers2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
