I think the NEC or the Patriot League would literally be the perfect conferences for their football team and the Patriot League only has 7 members, so they'd likely be on board with adding them.

This can't be serious? The PL is comprised of highly-selective private schools that models itself as "Ivy League Light". No way in hell would they even consider the possibility of considering adding UConn.

Towson was a member for a few years but that was only done because 1. Towson had ties to many of the PL schools from the old East Coast Conference days and 2. they needed another team to secure the auto-bid into the 1-AA/FCS playoffs starting in 1997. Prior to that the PL did not participate in the 1-AA playoffs. Shame because it cost a couple of great Holy Cross (especially 1987) teams a shot at a national title.
