For Albany to join the CAA there will have to be an expansion to 12 teams. Unless the CAA gets two bids, the revenue will be split more ways. That is the downside. Since the VA teams left, the CAA is not what it used to be, not so sure it is a better BBall league then the MAAC (Hofstra was their best team?). Football, have no idea. Have you noticed the MAAC vs out of conference lately (outside of Monmouth last yr) the conference is God awful. I don't see it improving anytime soon.

Colonial is world's better as a league then the ae and always higher rated then maac. Top to bottom, much better conference for basketball. CC, I don't disagree that the bottom of the CAA is generally much better than the bottom of the MAAC, if hat is what you aspire to, but I think any given year the top 3 out of 4 in the MAAC are better than the top 4 in the CAA in basketball for the past 4 or 5 years and headed downward for the CAA.

MAAC with five OOC wins so far today with Iona having a chance to win the Great Alaska Shootout later tonight. Best day of the season but all games that MAAC was expected to and should have won based on RPI of comp, however we are still 21 and 32 (.396) so far as a conference. Before today it was 16 and 32 (.333). If Iona beats NV it would be a nice win.

Big step up from AE to Colonial for UA. They would go from top of AE to middle to bottom tier of Colonial. Brown would really have to up recruiting.

They make the move to the CAA, there won't be anymore $5 games. So they better hope us Siena fans fall in love with the SEFCU so real fans will buy some tickets

and dummy how much does the league grant to UA, oh wait forgot the school will go to the big dance, be pc and say to league keep it all, lmao How is this different in another one bid league where the league equally distributes the cash? Let me put it to you a different way, the 5 trips that UA went to the ncaa, they got the same share as Hartford... Is that clear to you? So knowing that, why don't you try and explain to me again how going to the caa who have similar rule impact UA negatively? If what you say is true why would anyone coach recruit play their ass's off just to be eligible for equal distribution of NCAA appearances, especially in UA's case who lately have done extremely well. As a taxpayer I want the representative of the school to the AE to be fired for such a BS contract. No doubt public sector employee. I don't care if its a one bid league or not how is it fair for the school representing the conference to share equally. Does the AE provide a breakdown?

Because clearly MAAC schools and AE schools are in it for the huge profits.

B M my point is rather simple 1 no way are they BOTTOM Tier in the CAA 4th or even 5th puts them among the better teams in the CAA. Big difference from mid to bottom feeder, they aren't close to that in the CAA. So if you want to say mid fine, they certainly are not Bottom tier or even close. 2. Brown recruits just fine and he would not necessarily need a major upgrade in recruiting. He has a system and generally coaches it well. Brown recruits plug and play players that fits his scheme with little to no drop off from year to year.

Well in the AE UA gets to play conference games against 4-5 teams a year in the 300+ Kenpom rating. That doesn't happen in the CAA where maybe one team is 300+ every few years. Bottom level CAA is far superior to the bottom of the AE. Those conference wins will not be as easily achieved in the CAA. Bottomline we won't know until it happens and unless the CAA is expanding to 12 it is not going to happen. I'd like to see it happen.

The way I look at it- this is the Albany Sports Administration/Brown saying "F -YOU" Siena! You wanna go..you are going to pay! #NoClass Don’t be naïve- Please understand what you are talking about- It’s not up to Will Brown or Albany to “take care” of Siena fans- their “duty” is to do what’s best for UA. They have zero, none, nada responsibility to Siena fans And I should add Siena has zero responsibility to UA and its fans- Siena was under no obligation to give UA a home game hmmm, where have I heard this before ... oh yeah, because I have been saying it for about 15 years. The two biggest issues I have had with Siena's coaching and administration over the years were 1) agreeing to the game in the first place. No reason to do it as it only helped UA establish itself and 2) agree to play at Sefcu. In retrospect, I am okay with #1 as it has turned into a must watch game that generates excitement for both programs. #2 still sticks with me as a poor decision on the part of the Siena admin/coaching staff.
