RE: Adios Davidson....
At this point, the SOCON would very much be a lateral move.. I hope other options are still available...

RE: Adios Davidson....
Davidson may possibly be staying in the Socon due to the A10's unwillingness to accomodate their "academic scheduling" demands/requests. Not sure where the CAA stood (stands) on this, but the Socon is fine with it. Also, this may be common knowledge, but ETSU will be in the Socon next and not the OVC. Its done.

Doesn't the SoCon meet in June to vote?

It's a bummer Davidson is leaving, I agree. App State & Georgia Southern didn't hurt the conference by leaving in basketball. Charleston never won the SoCon, although I did enjoy playing them and they had quality teams.

It's a different landscape for certain, and I hope the SoCon can woo UNC Wilmington into the fold. Mercer, whether people on here think so or not, is a quality addition, and it appears they are headed to the SoCon with us & VMI, which is what I've been hearing for months.

They meet the end of May at Hilton Head.

I was told by someone who would know, but I don't think it was secret information. So not really a "source" in the cool sense.

I like that VMI is coming too...a lot of cool history there...especially around the Civil War period (Gen. Stonewall Jackson taught there)

RE: Adios Davidson....
I have mixed emotions about VMI. VMI is a cool school for a lot of reasons, but they will never be much more than what they are right now because of the constraints they put on themselves. There is certainly a lot of old tradition there both athletically and otherwise. VMI vs VPI (Va Tech) was the football game of the year in VA all the way up into the 60's. However, in todays college landscape VMI doesn't bring much to the table.

Yup. Look for the SoCon to turn to High Point or some other irrelevant school to replace them.

Good for Davidson for moving up, however it's difficult to sit here and watch all of these schools that we used to compete with pack up and move on to better things and leave us behind. Who is next? Chattanooga?

I'm sure some people will remember this but back during the Mister years when we were a top 25 basketball team Davidson was a lowly Big South member that had recently left the Socon.

Between 1975 and 1993 Davidson had only two winning seasons, now they're on their way to the Atlantic 10.....

Between 1975 and 1993 ETSU had 4 NCAA tournament appearance and a NIT appearance and we are "moving up" to the Socon.

At what point does ETSU rethink the SoCon and go all in with UTC to the OVC?

Would the OVC be interested in expansion with ETSU and UTC?

Also disappointing from an ETSU fan perspective. CAA has no interest in us (at least thats what we've heard) but they are interested in Elon. What has Elon ever done? They are geographically close to UNCW (if you want to call 3 hours close) but that's about all I can see.
