The fact that so many MEAC schools are scheduling their own meetings makes it sound (to me) like the conference leadership does not have a plan for making up these losses. Bethune-Cookman is an outlier in the MEAC now as their closest conference rival is South Carolina St, but Delaware St making potential changes is a big warning. MEAC needs to either shore up their conference membership, or this is gonna implode real quick.

In other news, I saw some folks in the Conference Realignment board making the case that Howard could be a target for the CAA (and it was not NoDak or DavidSt, the two that throw everything at the wall). Just wondering how folks on here would feel about Howard potentially joining the conference in the event the MEAC collapses. They have about $700M in endowments, a top 25 law school, and a top 40 business school. Haven't paid attention to their athletics, but I don't think they've made too much noise in any sport.
