Since CAA-Football is a different organization than the CAA for other sports, this seems like a safer decision than moving all sports over. I am not confident in the CAA will remain intact over the next year. There is no common identity among members and I could imagine some of the southern members flaking to the A-10 (Charleston?) or SoCon or ASUN. Until there is more clarity on that front, I hope basketball stays put in the MAAC. Plus, with the rise of Iona because of Pitino, it could be good for Monmouth. Being the #2 in a league with a nationally recognized program could be the better for recruiting and branding...especially if they win some games against them. Who knows, if the MAAC commish had any ambition, maybe the MAAC could grab Hofstra during this time of turbulence for the CAA and get to 12 members themselves.
CAA isn't going anywhere and is a step from the MAAC and will get you more national games. I think they have a contract w/ cbs sports channel.
