I would recommend setting them up this way to reduce travel costs and support regional rivalries.

Northern Division
• University of Maine (Orono, ME)
• University of Vermont (Burlington, VT)
• University of New Hampshire (Durham, NH)
• Merrimack College (North Andover, MA)
• UMass Lowell (Lowell, MA)
• Bryant University (Smithfield, RI)
• Siena College (Loudonville, NY)
• University at Albany (Albany, NY)
• Binghamton University (Vestal, NY)
• Canisius University (Buffalo, NY)
• Niagara University (Lewiston, NY)

This division clusters schools in New England and upstate NY, minimizing long-distance travel.

Southern Division
• Quinnipiac University (Hamden, CT)
• Sacred Heart University (Fairfield, CT)
• Fairfield University (Fairfield, CT)
• Iona University (New Rochelle, NY)
• Manhattan College (Riverdale, Bronx, NY)
• Marist College (Poughkeepsie, NY)
• Saint Peter’s University (Jersey City, NJ)
• NJIT (Newark, NJ)
• Rider University (Lawrenceville, NJ)
• Mount St. Mary’s University (Emmitsburg, MD)
• UMBC (Catonsville, MD


With the way things are going in college spots, banding together may help keep these schools afloat at the d1 level

Oops, there are two MD schools. How would sending CU and NU all the way over to ME,VT and NH reduce travel costs? Been to all three states, long hauls.

It’s never going to happen!

Why would you merge these two conferences & only secure one bid for the tourney?

Both of these conferences are lower tier.

It’s not the SEC or Big 10.

The Griffs need to win the MAAc & play better

Go Griffs!
