The Sporting News College Football Guide is out. Wesley is ranked 15th in their preseason rankings. The Gulls get a mention as a team to watch in the East. Wolverine tackle Matt Ferguson is on the preseason All-American team.

While not as good as #3 from last year, you still can't complain with 15th.  Wesley now has some elbow room to move up!

Here's an article about Moises Fokou who played one year for Frostburg before transfering to Maryland and was draft this year by the Eagles .

I am not sure what occurs more rapidly.  The shifting of the tectonic plates, or the Capital AC sponsoring football.

Frostburg to join the CAC.  That is three teams.

When do we hear from Stevenson on football?

EDIT: Maybe watching a pot boil is a better analogy than tectonic plates...

This is pure speculation, but  I think that  the CAC sponsoring football happens, and CNU and Shenandoah will be in the mix somehow.

To get the AQ, does Hood add football?

You are right!! I thought that Frostburg had applied last year to the CAC. But I digress.

I thought that the meeting was supposed to take place in May  at Stevenson regaurding football. I google every few days and nothing!

The fly in the ointment is Gallaudet.. They are leaving the CAC!!!! They wouldn't win many games but it would have added a team to schedule and would have helped with the AQ process.

And Gallaudet has not fielded a team every year.

That does not build confidence among the affiliates.  I think that the CAC is a stronger football Pool A prospect without Gallaudet.  And I believe that Gallaudet has more football success in the NAC.

For you Wesley fans another article on Larry

I wonder if the ACFC  becomes the CAC football conference ( now that Frostburg has joined)and NNA becomes an associate member.  Especially if Stevenson picks up football.

IIRC, Coach Drass had mentioned some rumored CAC action, so I have a feeling that it is just a matter of time when the ACFC ceases to exist.  The writing has been on the wall for quite a while now.

Stevenson is adding football in 2010. I think we will have the making of a CAC football conference soon. Great news for Salisbury, Wesley, and Frostburg. Stevenson should be able to have a decent team in a few years and make for conference full of rivals.

Ahhhhh.... Good news indeed!!  Thanks for the heads-up.  It looks like a very bright future for some Mid-Atlantic teams!

+1 K for Big Toe for finding this story!!! The CAC hasn' t broken it yet but it is great news for the future of the conference be it either the ACFC or the CAC.... Maybe this will have a snow ball effect , Shenandoah maybe??

Not to be a wet blanket here, but given Stevenson's proximity to Hopkins and McDaniel (and Gettysburg) it would make just as much sense for them to try and join the Centennial Conference. Dickinson and F&M are both closer than Frostburg and Salisbury, and even Moravian, Muhlenberg and Juniata aren't significantly farther. Just something to keep in mind.
