The OVC and ASUN are options too… OVC east or ASUN east MEAC isn’t the only game in town, additionally the HBCU world will throw up in their mouth if a PWI plays in the celebration bowl. Either way that will blow a big hole into the classroom time missed and traveling Theory , was that not the main basis for departing the MEAC ? And your right the OVC may take the Big S***it because they are losing team left and right , but I seriously doubt that the ASUN will take the conference after already getting KSU and NAU . Like I said the Big S***it is between a rock and a hard place. ASUN will be down to 5 football playing members in 2023, they would take and east division to obtain an AQ KSU and UNA were already members of the ASUN The missed time discussion wasn’t for football… Basketball, volleyball and baseball

I was not referring to A&T this is about the conference. I couldn't tell as your first question in your post was whether or not Earl, Harold, and A&T "saw this coming." Regarding the conference, there are multiple Division 2 schools that are in talks with the Big South and other conferences regarding moving up. They will have a 2-year clock to keep their AQ if Campbell or any other team leaves the conference in Football on top of Monmouth. And that is a feasible question to ask . Because that was one of the reasons for moving to a more so called stable conference in order to get the AQ ,Travel and in classroom time . Next time don't read into my statement, read my statement . We have had this discussions before but yet you continue to persist with that action 😆 Respect.

Like I said the Big S***it is between a rock and a hard place. Another thing that could end up happening is a conference like the Big South decides that FCS Football isn't worth it and allows its football-playing members to seek membership elsewhere. Now that is a feasible option that could work .

Did A&T's leadership see this coming ? Nobody saw any of this coming. It has been like dominoes. And a new one falls everyday but they should've saw it coming, "historically" the bsc has always been a "musical chairs" conference ever since its founding. that's exactly why they admitted two hbcu's, out of "desperation" to secure a more stable conference. "stability" has always been a major problem for the bsc and that's a "FACT". our leadership should've known that all along. to think that the bsc would suddenly become a stable conference just because a&t and hampton joined would show a total lack of "research" on our leadership's part as well as on the part of that so called "athletic conference assessment committee". either our leadership and the so called "athletic conference assessment committee" didn't do their homework or else the move wasn't based on the "facts" in the first place. i believe it was the "latter"...

The "this" I'm talking about is bigger than the Big South.

I’d rather be in the MEAC for football than the A-Sun.
The A-Sun doesn’t reduce travel and it definitely doesn’t have teams that would attract fans from either sides.
Perfect world OVC and Big South decide it’s best for their football teams to play wherever and us, Hampton and TSU join the MEAC for football

That is why my homeboys and I refer to the BSC as the Big S***it because the conference as never been stable for football playing institutions .

The conference does not have an identity. Hopefully, our leadership did their due diligence and recognized the potential instability along with the travel cost savings. Looks like some scheduling alliances are on the horizon.

The question is would the MEAC allow the three of us to be "football only" members? I wouldn't because of the CB money split but are there any real advantages to the MEAC if we are not full members? It would certainly allow ESPN to sharpen their marketing.

Campbell is not going to the CAA, they don’t fit CAA institutional profile
A southern baptist school in the CAA, can’t see it
