Joining CUSA, bringing it to 11 teams. The CAA would still have far too many teams at 14 for football, 13 for bball but if they decided to add more, I wonder if RMU would be in play
Biden's base would prefer that they drop football altogether.Is that because of Biden
I'd love to catch a game some time there. Kind of a shame that they're ditching the local teams in the CAA to play New Mexico State, but that's the world we live in now I guess
The CAA isn't what it used to be. Two of its original football members have dropped the sport. Two more of its original members have moved up to FBS (JMU and UMass), plus two other schools that joined the league (ODU and Georgia State) jumped up. Heck, the conference even changed its name this year from "Colonial" to "Coastal." Yes, the CAA is more regional, but I can get why Delaware did not feel a strong sense of loyalty or tradition with the conference.I'd love to catch a game some time there.

Like hell they do.Delaware actually has a bigger football following then Temple.
I hate it when someone calls me out and is correct.Like hell they do.
What was the average home attendance for the two programs this year? Pretty even I'd imagine.Like hell they do.

The stats I saw showed Temple was closer to 20k where your Delaware figure was accurate. Delaware’s stadium only holds 22k. I assume that will need to be enlarged.Temple averaged 13,445 this season.
Delaware averaged 15,564 this season.

According to Temple's website, their highest attended home game this year was UTSA but that was still under 20k (18,388 in attendance). See https://owlsports.com/sports/football/stats/2023.I am quite sure that Temple, like most other D1 schools make up attendance numbers. For example, they listed 11,232 for a Friday night game opposite a Phillies playoff game and a Sixers exhibition game. I watched some of it and there were not more than 100 people there and that's not an exaggeration.

Biden has a base?
I think you're right.Unfortunately no. No one likes him. Everyone just voted against Trump but that isnt going to work 2 times in a row.
With Delaware moving up to FBS, the northeast would have the making of a fun FBS conference:
1. Army
2. Buffalo
3. Delaware
4. Navy
5. Temple
6. UConn
7. UMass
A few other schools that I think could move up at some point are Stony Brook, Villanova, and Albany. URI and Maine have also floated ideas to renovate and expand their current stadiums, but I just don’t think their location does them many favors.
FACTS, nobody ever wanted Biden to be president because they were excited about Biden, last election didn't include Biden, it was LOVE TRUMP vs HATE TRUMP.Unfortunately no. No one likes him. Everyone just voted against Trump but that isnt going to work 2 times in a row.
Pretty convenient that Delaware is going to the FBS after he met with players and officials on the topic of unionization of college football athletes three weeks ago.FACTS, nobody ever wanted Biden to be president because they were excited about Biden, last election didn't include Biden, it was LOVE TRUMP vs HATE TRUMP.
