I meant to post this earlier, but got distracted.
All said, they are in panic mode...no matter what BLAW says. I understand that their president called an emergency meeting today (Saturday) to "discuss athletics."

Why are they panicking?

Why are they panicking? I was just corrected: It was not the president who called the meeting...but it was about athletics, nevertheless.
I think that they are worried about being Behind The 8-Ball, so to speak.
My gut feeling is that they are trying to push that A-SUN proposition down the road.

I'm sure NCCU is scrambling to get their applications in to various conferences.

We keep assuming these conferences want NCCU and FAMU. We were approached and invited by the Big South. I'm wondering if they wanted those schools wouldn't an invitation have been extended to them? Just curious.

They should use our exit as a means to get this Celebration Bowl cash.

I honestly doubt that FAMU would be interested in the Big South Conference. Norfolk State and NCCU would be shoo-ins, though.
HELL...merge the MEAC and BSC and create 2 separate divisions, kinda like Conference USA had to do. Call it "Conference America."

That MERGER was strictly tongue-in-cheek.

McCluney? Bad idea. I’ll leave it at that. They definitely see that now!!! It's getting bad over there with him as their Deputy AD.
Already?

No...this are not the Athletic Leadership Team. These are folks in Sports Information, athletic business office, facilities, trainers, assistant coaches, etc. You still need to treat people like human beings. He treats them like he's Massa McCluney.

I must admit, it would be nice if there could be at least 1 prominent Aggie, past or present that would publicly support this move and positively explain the ramifications. It could help ease some of the initial perceptions and open some minds for the possibilities it presents.
