Rooting for #CCSU to succeed this season and beyond... But just not against us...
They seem to have something going... except funding... Hoping they can get that going (somehow) with their Athletic programs... I think it will pay off tremendously, not just for them, but the entire state... Another public U to root for... that plays at a higher level of college athletics...

Central needs to get an invite to America East and CAA Football soon or the D-I athletic program will eventually wither and die in the NEC. The academic profile, facilities, and budget relative to the existing AE membership has kept CCSU out of that league since the 1980s. A new conference with an aspirational peer group (and some former Yankee Conference schools) would give Central the platform to raise its profile across the board - and, yes that would be great for the State of Connecticut!
But CCSU just can't get anything really going with the current level of State support. And don't kid yourself, the State Legislature and UConn Administration has done everything it can over many decades to prevent any academic or athletic growth at CCSU and continues to do so. Just not sure anyone in Hartford or Storrs has the vision that would enable Connecticut to support both a premier comprehensive public university alongside the State's land-grant flagship, national research university. Too many egos would be hurt ...

Would love to see America East become an Yankee-ish all-public conference and partner with the MAAC for football.
URI (football)
Maine (football)
New Hampshire (football)
Albany (football)
add CCSU (football)
add Stony Brook (football)
UVM
UMass Lowell
Binghamton
NJIT
UMBC moves to a more mid-atlantic conference, Bryant to the MAAC for all sports but football. SHU, Merrimack, Bryant, and maybe Marist (if they want to fund it) play football in America East. 9-10 football schools, 10 basketball schools.
