New England college football traditionalists who worried that the balance of power would slide south when the old Yankee Conference admitted Delaware and Richmond in 1986, Villanova in 1988 and William & Mary and James Madison in 1993 will be able to mumble "I told you so" tomorrow.

The Colonial Athletic Association, headquartered in Richmond, Va., will officially announce that it is adding football and absorbing the entire Atlantic 10 Football Conference in 2007.

Losing football will relegate the Atlantic 10 to I-AAA status for NCAA governance purposes, which means it will wield less clout than an all-sports conference.

I'm surprised that no one has posted a comment about this report. There were many supporters of a move from the Patriot League to the A-10 a while back. Silence now. What is the current position of those who advocated such a move? I'm not informed enough to have strong opinions, except that I think we belong in a league with Georgetown and Holy Cross.

I think the reason nobody responded is this has been expected for months. No surprise. A-10 Football will now essentially be CAA Football. I support a move to CAA.Football Fordham sits right in the middle of the league's schools geographically and is well positioned to travel north or south to play games. Full schollies will give us a shot at a national title. The CAA will be a great league. (NT) -- Rambacker, 13:58:14 05/06/05 Fri
