The first time Bundesliga promotion/relegation was explained to me (as I sat in the Frankfurt Football Stadium) I was struck by the sheer brilliance of the entire concept. We should have it in the CAA/Patriot League/Pioneer Football League and have Georgetown (for example) sent down to the Pioneer Football League. And the last place Pioneer Football League team gets relegated to DII. And we go up to CAA and Stony Brook (they stink BTW) comes down to the Patriot League. Sorry Pride, but the time has come for HC football to look out for HC football. I'm not interested Georgetown football or any other team in the PL. Same is true of the NEC. If we want to continue to bang our chest in pride over our football program we need to be prepared to make a move to strengthen the program and to keep the coaching staff in place and happy. Here's my suggestion. Delaware decides to move to the FBS we jump right into the CAA and take their spot. I don't want to hear about academics (see William and Mary and Villanova). As others on the board have talked about nostalgia, get over it or you are going to get run over by a Mack truck in the form of the 21st Century college football scene. (JMHO) Totally agree with this. I think that your best bet is to join the CAA for football only and America East for all other sports.
