It's still listed under the campus construction update as beginning in 2007, with completion in 2009, but I think that is still just the original "brainstorm" not anything concrete

"A new fieldhouse will be the centerpiece of the University's efforts to enhance intercollegiate athletics and recreation. It will replace the Kaiser Annex and include an eighth-mile track and four courts for basketball and tennis. The new facility will offer large activity spaces including a performance court, pool, dance studio and fitness lab. The reconfigured fieldhouse will seat 8000 - 9000 to provide an expanded venue for indoor sporting events, and will also allow the campus to accommodate commencement exercises and student related functions. An addition to the Student Center is currently underway, expanding the snack bar and adding much needed offices for student organizations and student related functions."

I just would like to say that you guys do a great job of maximizing what you have. Anytime you can even recruit on the same level as CAA schools and you are in the NEC you are doing a great job. I was wondering what was going on at CCSU for them to be in the running for the same recruits that we are targeting at Delaware. I do have some good news for you though. Realignment is coming very soon just as it did with the 1-A programs for football. CCSU really needs to jump on this bandwagon. Old Dominion, GMU, and Georgia State are putting things in place to begin football programs. The CAA sponsors football in 2007 as they will take over the A-10 Conference. Holdover schools from the A-10 Conference were invited to join the CAA in football as they wanted to keep the league intact. However, as the three aforementioned CAA programs have explored sponsoring football non-CAA schools have become outcasts because Old Dominion has 2009 set as their first year in football. As a CAA member they receive automatic entry into the conference and the conference will NOT have over 12 teams. So Rhode Island, UMass, Maine, New Hampshire, Richmond, and Villanova will end up forming their own conference with Nova, UMass, Duquesne, Rhode Island, and Richmond as football only members of course. I tell you what, a conference of New Hampshire, Maine, UMass, Rhode Island, Richmond, Villanova, Albany, Stony Brook, Lehigh,Lafayette, Duquesne, and CCSU would be a very strong conference. Of course you know that this conference would have no problems getting playoff berths without the automatic bid.
