From the PSAC point view Frostburg makes senses, but from Frostburg's point of view with Fake Notre Dame closing, they from a football perspective may be able to dominate the MEC. also Frostburg has other sports, does the women's lacrosse, softball really want to travel to Gannon??? I think Frostburg's travel for the other sports is doable, the only have to travel to UNC-Pembroke for football only.

Originally posted by EyeoftheHawk View PostInteresting article by Matt Burgland in the Indiana Gazette today about the move. Apparently Steve Murray reached out to Hurst two weeks ago due to the rumors and they told him they had “no contact with the NEC.” However in their press conference yesterday they said the move was first discussed in 2004 and then picked up steam about three years ago. How classy and godly of this fine Catholic institution.
This is sarcasm.Last edited by IUPNation; 04-05-2024, 03:51 PM.

Definitely don't Google the thing about the girl who gave birth on campus then left the baby to die in the dorm bathtub.

Is Frostburg a done deal ? Seems like the most obvious and easiest choice, but there might be some other possibilities. Lincoln for instance. even New Haven. Move LHU west.
New Haven is just too far for them to go to PA every other week or for us to go there. It just doesn't work.
Your top choices are Frostburg, Fairmont, West Liberty and I'm just going to put it out there....why not Ashland?

Northwest Missouri State has an opening Oct. 26th.Cal can replace that game too.
Torts would be dumb to schedule anybody that week at this point.

two possible northern teams are Lake Erie college or even if SUNY Fredonia currently D3 has 3200+ students
7 men's & 10 women teams. Could be a possible. Easy travel off I-90 about 50 miles east of Erie.
Mansfield might br persuaded to bring back D2 FB.
Aleghaney in Meadeville could be a possible , they draw well in Football Ave @2000
Long shots I know but thinking outside the box

Originally posted by EastStroud13 View PostI agree, the timing of so many moves lately is rushed. Programs are willing to "figure things out later", and when the time comes to figure those out, you end up with the reality of being FCS Independent.
If the America East ever decides to sponsor football on their own, maybe that gives Merrimack and Sacred Heart a life raft as associate members. But the America East seems adamant about not sponsoring football.
Maybe the four AE schools could convince URI and Richmond to break way from the CAA and bring in Merrimack and Sacred Heart - granted, that's a very long shot, since neither the A-10 nor AE seem interested in sponsoring football, even under those circumstances. You also have another Big East school in Georgetown who competes in the Patriot League (Georgetown and Fordham basically fill the spots of Army and Navy for Patriot League football), which currently sits at seven members.
There might be options out there for Merrimack and/or Sacred Heart to join a league for football, but there obviously aren't any guarantees.Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014
