I imagine the team could continue with the CAA but I hope not - it’s too sporadic weak and has never gotten much respect at playoff selection time. Maybe the Hens can join the Big 10 as an associate member like Hopkins? Or how about the Big East to make 12 with two six team divisions?

Big East MLAX is only 6 teams but I like the thought. As long as we’re reaching here how about the ACC? They only have 5 teams with whom we have been competitive in recent years. I don’t know if the ACC has ever had an Associate member, except of course Notre Dame in football.

Thanks for the correction, got confused looking at their site and all the members for all sports. I thought of the ACC afterwards, of course that and the Big are pipe dreams. In addition to the Big East, the A10 could be a home, though. Perhaps even the Patriot League. Lafayette wasn’t much opposition yesterday but with Army, Navy, Loyola (MD) and BU ………..
