Re: Field Hockey, Lacrosse and Men's Soccer Conference?

Maine is actually a founding member of the football conference that they are in along with UNH and URI......all other members are later additions. It always makes me laugh when other school's fans treat them like red-headed step children.

Re: UMass to the MAC

The only 2 men's sports that I can see UD realistically cutting that would save money are:

1. Men's Soccer
2. Baseball

And those would probably be the 2 on the chopping block if any cuts are made.

Re: UMass to the MAC

Almost every school in CUSA is a geographical outlier in some form or another, as is UMass in the MAC. For many FBS schools that's the case, where conferences spread time zones and even coasts. It's sometimes true of FCS and even lower level conferences, especially those out West. It's just the cos...

Re: 2024 Schedule

Why don't you buy Maine's game at Oklahoma on Nov.2? We'll sell it to you for $735K ($635 buy + $100K finders fee). Then you'll have a premiere FBS game on your schedule. :D With $200M of athletic donations, why is Maine selling themselves to OU for a beatdown? Exposure. Maine hopes to get some pub...

Re: 2024 Schedule

Your schedule seems like a final FU from the CAA.....although they threw you the "don't have to travel North" bone.

Re: Future of CAA

From DC Hen: Sounds great for Maine. Alfond & Morse are like Maine’s Carpenter family. Maine, UNH, URI, Bryant, Albany, Stony Brook might be well served to have America East add football. That would give them a more NE oriented conference, mostly state universities. Some of us would love to see...

Re: Future of CAA

Yes thanks Russ. The article also popped up in my news feed The Patriot would be a perfect fit for the three schools as they are very conscious about “peer schools”. But as the article mentions W&M would probably need to join as an all sports participant where Richmond and Nofun would only be f...

Re: 2024 Schedule

What are we down to? 5K or 6K season ticket holders? Frankly, the focus should be exclusively on growing new, young fans. If a few of us 5K old timers (I'm 52) stay on, great, but we really shouldn't be a big part of the calculus. As was mentioned somewhere else here in the last couple of days, the...
