Why Howard University chose to stay in the MEAC
https://hbcugameday.com/2022/06/23/why-howard-university-chose-to-stay-in-the-meac/

From reading this, I am thinking it might be a year-to-year referendum as far as several schools staying in the MEAC. I really don't like how it sounds, but hey, at least the conference stays alive for another year. :tiptoe:

The conference members should be honest with each other about their needs.  If they are looking to find a new home, say so.

True^^^  But I have learned to consider the source.  Rumors are not always true.  Weren't they the first to report that Howard was leaving the MEAC? 
Whether great or small, victory is victory!

"Preparing to join the CAA..." quote the story correctly.

You do realize that about 30% of Howard’s athletes are not in the MEAC. The conference needs to grow or this will potential move will be flirted with again. But for now the Bison will dominate the MEAC in four/five sports and be as competitive as possible in their NEC sports.

Most people don't sadly.

And what sports will this domination take place in? I see women's Basketball , Men and Women T&F and Volleyball. Am i right?
