So what was it about playing Towson, UNCW, Ga State, Northeastern, Hofstra, Delaware and W&M that you loved so much that you can't seem to let it go?

The CUSA is a much better conference and a much better fit for a large, public University with good football and basketball teams and the desire to move up in the world.

The CAA, while you may have enjoyed it, would have been a giant anchor tied around our ankles, keeping us from ever moving up or improving.

I'm not bashing you, I'm just telling you that you are wrong. This move was a great step for ODU as the CAA was not just a piddling mid-major league, it was a piddling mid-major league that just lost VCU in basketball and has several other schools looking to get out as well (GMU for bball, Ga State left, Hofstra and NU quit football altogether, JMU and Delaware are also looking to leave eventually).

We made the right move. You can stop giving money or supporting the team if you want but your donations and money will be MORE than made up by new donors excited about the future of ODU.
