RE: Do Academics Matter?
I'm not sure what institutions ETSU has an academic advantage over. ETSU isn't a rigorous academic institution by any means. That's not a knock, ETSU is a regional university and it serves its region. Unfortunately that region is a low income area with low graduation rates. I agree with MommaBear, that other schools will look at admissions standards of ETSU when evaluating them for conference affiliation. Right now ETSU has a solid "advantage" in this area, as practically any student who meets NCAA eligibility standards is admissible at ETSU. I also agree with Pitt, that the CAA should be the goal and would far exceed the past for a football program. The A10 is ideal from a basketball standpoint, but I agree with Pitt that it is not a realistic match for ETSU. I disagree with the idea that ETSU would be poised to move to the FBS level if it still had football. FBS is about TV markets and the Tri Cities isn't an appealing one.
