CAA

- Football: they want to be a conference where private schools can survive and play D1.
- Basketball: looking to move back into the mid-major ranks and hopes of multi-bid years.

They're adding teams to offset losses or more likely split North/South.

For football at least - Nova, UR, UD, and W&M likely would like to stay together.
For basketball: there is a better mix and chance they move higher in the mid-major ranks. But that might take tightening up the all sports membership.

Worth watching is how Towson, Stony Brook, Albany, and maybe UD look at this. The end game seems to be private/public schools with less than 5K students and a perception of high academic standards. Seems like the Patriot exists for this?
