Message: [QUOTE="Zissou, post: 5074411, member: 7920"] If you look just in the ACC, the Eastern privates are Wake, Duke, Cuse, Miami, and BC. Novas decisions on FBS go way back. Nova was a 1-A independent when Div 1 was split in 1978. I recently opened a thread on the history of the Big East and Eastern 8 in this period. Nova’s last 1-A season was 1980. Nova beat BC, Cincy, and Temple at home that year and lost to Maryland and Navy on the road with a 6-5 season. A mediocre program at 1-A playing good regional programs. It was the Age of Eastern Independent Football. Nova’s original decision wasn’t to move up from 1-AA, it was to quit 1-A football. [/QUOTE]
