Erskine is adding football, so that is a possibility. Allen is beginning the transition to DII NCAA, and is rumored to be a future part of SIAC.

Whoever is added and no matter how small, I hope the conference requires a minimum of 15 scholarships to start participation in football. The SAC doesn't need another Brevard situation just for patsy scheduling and cheap D2 in-conference wins.

Travel for them is currently a nightmare and makes trekking to LMU look like a walk in the park.

Christopher Newport is looking and thinking D2. However, here's the football future for the SAC. L-R, Wingate, Mars Hill, Catawba, Barton, Newberry, Limestone, Erskine, Anderson, Tusculum, CN, Uva-Wise. With Barton and Erskine added it jumps to an 11 team conference playing 10 conference games and 1 OOC. Add Anderson, and you have an 11 game schedule with 12 teams. Scheduling problems ended. There would be no OOC, which may hurt the Gulf South who currently has 8. And if you add Christopher Newport, there is always UNCP to get to 14 for football, with two 7 team divisions, and crossover games. Since this is a football site, didn't even look at basketball teams. Since Chowan is also a Conference Carolinas member, like several others, not sure if it's worth prying them out of the CIAA. The SAC could be a Virginia, NC, SC, Tennessee conference.

Where do Barton and Erskine go? Or does Conference Carolinas have a football league? There was a rumor at one point that Shorter from the GSC may be interested

Rather than repeating everything, I'll just link to this short thread about Conference Carolinas Football. It includes a link to an article on Barton pushing for the formation of CC football.

Originally posted by canadarican View PostInteresting. However, I just do not see why any current SAC schools or North Greenville would want to leave and join a conference carolina's football league.

I don't see any SAC schools joining the CC either. But, the CC is 1 team away from being able to sponsor football after UNC-Pembroke joins. North Greenville will not have a choice on what conference they are in if the CC adds football, unless they join another conference entirely.
