Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4346487, member: 71"] Yes. That whole thing was a charade. Nova couldn't feasibly increase the size of their stadium (I believe it holds less than 15k), had no access to the Link (due to Temple's agreement with that facility and "proposed" using the Union's 20k MLS stadium for games that needed greater capacity than their field could hold. On facilities alone this could never get off the ground. At the time (shortly before a few major conferences added schools) there was a lot of unrest between the football and non-football members of the conference. Going through that charade was necessary to get the Catholics to allow adding TCU (announced but never materialized) but it may have been the final straw in the BE as a hybrid conference. [/QUOTE]
