I agree with both of you. I think our media deal hurts our ability to grow and bring schools in. I dont think the CAA has the pull it once did. While getting those schools and growing would be ideal, I feel like the time to do so passed already and we dont have the leadership to carry forward intelligently. A north south division with crossover would certainly be ideal if the conference can pull it off.

In fact, I think if Joey D was smart he would publicly be clamoring and going after said schools and getting on the offensive (like the sunbelt is doing for football). Get ahead of the movement and show strength instead of sitting back in weakness and letting the cards fall how they will fall.
