It is probably somewhere within this 106 minute long video on the CAA website.

not in the segment, though Yeager does throw another anti-FBS barb in there.

Yeager claims that SB, Albany and Elon bring rivalries to the CAA b/c CAA players know each other due to the regional proximity. He chose to leave out the part that a majority of these fcs players held out for 1A offers but never got beyond the interest level and that 1A players also know each other from their high school days.

Well in all fairness, with JMU to the SB or MAC, not many JMU players would know players from other teams from their HS days because JMU would be somewhat of a geographic outlier to both conferences who's schools aren't located where JMU probably gets 90+% of its players: VA, MD, PA, NJ

Does that really matter? Kids don't accept scholarships generally to play against someone they knew in HS. If that's what Yeager is hanging his hat on, then he is truly reaching.
