What do you think of NU's move to the CAA? Nice schools and some nice facilites, but I don't see where any additional interest would be generated by any of them in the Boston are.

I'd vote for staying in the PL if it were us.

The one coach at NU that must be doing cartwheels is the baseball coach; most of their road trips will be to places with much better weather in the spring.

Plus, I noticed in the article I read that the NU AD was talking about the ways in which they'd recoup the extra money they'd be spending on addtional travel, etc. None of them included increased attendance.

The move does pose an interesting situation w/regard to football. There are 6 current/future CAA schools that are 1AA football schools. I guess that there's the potential for them to break away from the A10, one would think.
That would leave the A10 with 5 of its all-sports members in its football conference, plus Villanova.
