In more Northeast Conference news ...

[B]Long Island University [/B](LIU) will be merging its athletic departments in to one D-I program in the NEC.

[B]LIU-Brooklyn[/B] (Blackbirds) are D-I members of the NEC.
[B]LIU-Post [/B](Pioneers) are D-II members of the NE-10.

Basically, this adds a new FCS football team to the NEC without further expansion in basketball.

All of LIU's teams will continue competing in their current conferences for the 2018-19 academic year, honoring schedules with opponents. The unification will be effective for competition beginning in Fall 2019. The university will elevate seven current Post programs to Division I, including expanding its membership in the Northeast Conference with men's cross country, men's lacrosse, and football, which will make the transition to the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
