That said, Bluefield State, to me, seems like a better fit for the CIAA than the SIAC or Conference Carolinas in the long run. Presuming CC ends up getting Chowan to move their football program into their league, that leaves an opening in the CIAA for Bluefield State.Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

I know of Barton (IND - scheduling alliance with SAC), Chowan (CIAA), Erskine (IND) and North Greenville (GSC), but who else in Conference Carolinas sponsors football? If you were thinking of Limestone, then they're a full member of the SAC as of a couple of years ago.

I think the natural fit is MEC for Bluefield State, and they are a formerly WVIAC member if I remember correctly. I could see them end up in the MEC, Conference Carolinas adding football by either outright conference expansion or some sort of football only member like UNC-Pembroke currently is in the MEC. The simplest approach would be to work with a NAIA school or two within the footprint and help them transition to D2.

UNC Pembroke is the fifth. They join this fall.
Wasn't Mount Olive rumored to be starting football in the near future, or was I thinking of a different school?Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

Wow... I didn't even realize that UNCP was moving to Conference Carolinas (though, for now, football is staying in the MEC)... I guess that shows how disconnected I've been from the D2 scene lately.
