According to Frostburg State University Athletic Director Troy Dell, finding replacements for Wesley College and Marymount University “will not be a quick fix.” Following news of the two schools’ movement to a new league, a committee has been looking for nine months to fill their positions. To fill in the lack of the two teams, most Frostburg State University teams are adding two extra non-conference match-ups to still play the same amount of games.

Recently, on Monday, March 5, President Ronald Nowaczyk sent an email to the Frostburg campus updating students and faculty on the current state of the athletic conference affiliation. Since the email announcement, the notion that Frostburg would potentially compete in the NCAA Division II has created significant buzz among students, faculty, and staff.

Nowaczyk noted that Frostburg State is committed to maintaining the stability of CAC but will explore further options to protect the University’s 21 varsity sports. He also mentioned that Frostburg decided to utilize the services of Strategic Edge Athletic Consultants who would oversee “an assessment of the athletic program’s readiness to compete” at the Division II level.

Full Story

Ah..I see they're currently D3.

Geographically, the Mountain East or PSAC would fit, but MEC has 12, and PSAC has 18!!

I still think the G-Mac and Mtn East should swap their OHIO and WV schools.

Claflin moving from SIAC to CIAA effective July 1

http://thetandd.com/sports/college/clafl...15ee7.html

Quote:After notifying the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference of its decision to exit after 10 years, Claflin University announced Wednesday that it is joining the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) commencing July, 1, 2018.

Dr. Henry N. Tisdale, president of Claflin University, said the decision to move to the conference - headquartered in Charlotte, N.C. - was made after careful consideration of potential benefits.

“We believe this is a win-win situation for the university and our student-athletes,” Tisdale said. “The CIAA aligns with our institutional profile and the proximity of its members to Orangeburg is very attractive for our alumni and supporters.”

Claflin raised its athletic program profile when it became an NCAA Division II member in 2008 and concurrently joined the SIAC. Claflin sponsors men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, and men’s and women’s cross country.

No clue, but I wouldn't be shocked if Benedict didn't follow them eventually as the CIAA even stretching into Maryland and Pennsylvania is a better fit than a SIAC that goes from Mobile, AL to Memphis to near Dayton, OH.

Will Savannah St become the 14th? Charlotte is the current home of the CIAA tournament, which is a big deal. Claflin and Savannah St would be travel partners apparently.

RE: D-II/D-III/NAIA movement
Cheyney is leaving the PSAC and the NCAA. I'm thinking the NAIA is their next stop, but they will play as an independent for 2018-19.

Full statement from the PSAC just released tonight:

Yes it is. I wonder if Shepherd would be interested in making a move to the PSAC from the MEC. Speculation about that on the D2 football message board. Shepherd has a good D2 program and would probably benefit from playing in a better conference.

PSAC and D-2 always seemed to make sense for Salisbury as well. Eastern Shore is a weird location, but it's relatively easy for eastern PA teams to make it down there.

Salisbury doesn't seem to be ambitious however - whereas Frostburg is.

I'm not sure Cheyney can go NAIA. Apparently they are retaining only men's and women's basketball, and I think there needs to be more than that. Is their accreditation in good standing? That might be an issue too. Maybe it will be club level sports, or maybe USCCA.

Cheyney is leaving the NCAA at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season. I guess their only option and best option is the USCAA otherwise they would have no athletic affiliation. Maybe that's what was meant; an unaffiliated program like UVA Lynchburg. It's too late for 2018-19 NAIA membership and they are on NCAA probation through August 2019. There are only 5 NAIA schools within 400 miles so travel costs would skyrocket in NAIA.

To answer your earlier question Fresno St. Alum:

Quote:why are they going to 13?

Claflin is non-football so there is no issue there; conference bylaws were changed to allow admittance to non-football schools. The CIAA can work around 13 in basketball but the big reasons are baseball and men's tennis. The CIAA dropped those sports for 2017-18 because there were not enough teams and Claflin has both sports. Claflin will be the 6th baseball and 5th men's tennis school allowing the conference to bring baseball back after just a 1 year hiatus. The CIAA will not be at 13 long, look for another non-football (with baseball and men's tennis) school to be announced sometime this year.

D-II we have Frostburg St., UT-Tyler, Benedictine(IL) coming

PSU Schuylkill is applying to NAIA this year, did you count them? It may be that there are more PSUs to follow.

I do think the NAIA is in Cheyneys future if the survive. But probably not this year. And If, somehow, they are eligible now they might have applied iby the October deadline and just not announced it.

Moving to the USCAA is probably the option they are looking at. They can just have basketball as a sport in that organization.

I've noticed on USCAA website that Stratford University will become a full member. Also, Bryant & Stratton College - Albany, Buffalo, Liverpool and Greece will join their full member colleague Bryant & Stratton - Syracuse. Probably will form their own conference.

This article says Chowan is rumored to be leaving the CIAA, so that is why Claflin got accepted as the 13th team.

Wow!! Talk about your basketball-only schools!! These schools literally just have basketball. Am I going crazy or did I see a juco in the USCAA website??
