I wish the northern MEAC schools would drop to D2 and team up with the northern CIAA schools.

Dr. Fredrick has no say in Del. State, Morgan, UMES, and Coppin. Norfolk St. should also be in the MEAC core considering the D2 option. By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if NEC ultimately did not see Del. State as a fit, which is why they stayed. I do not see MEAC expanding into the northeastern region of FCS any time soon, whether the conference or individual schools.All the chatter about the MEAC's history. MEAC started as a D2 conference that moved up. Let's get back to these roots (although I still see NC Central, SC State and maybe Howard as a better fit in FCS / Big South). The MEAC is thinking who can move up or move over in FCS to get members. Instead MEAC should be thinking maybe we should drop to D2 to expand and grow the conference. Get out of the box.

Secondly, there is no way those CIAA schools would leave the conference just to save the MEAC. There is too much tradition for them to leave. Maybe the CIAA will except a few MEAC schools, but in the format that's currently in place. The CIAA don't live just to rescue the MEAC.

Ram55 yeh it may be that 3 years from now many of the remaining MEAC schools will need to join the CIAA. I do not disagree with that and consider it positive. But the notion that the MEAC is secure is willful blindness.

If your leadership is sensitive, passive and stale in its thinking as you are hoping trust me that the schools in Durham and Winston will be chasing NC A&T athletically and academically for another 50 years. I like Frederick but hopefully he will put his brains into innovation and not stagnation.

Do you think that either of these two schools would rather play in the CIAA tournament or the Big South's? Play Campbell or anybody in the CIAA? Who would you rather watch? You're from a school that doesn't really have any HBCU traditions, so you think wanting to be like white schools is the way to go. Some of us like being black.

I would rather be playing Hampton and A&T home-home than UMES and Coppin to answer your question. I love the Battle of the Real HU if you don't know much about our HBCU traditions! No shade, but I don't need to go to a b-ball game in Coppin to feel black.
