It depends what the AD's and the conference want to do.

If I were they, I would just add the designation to the E8 as a multi-region conference (until/when/if the legislation that considers all conference games as in-region games passes. I don't know where that proposed legislation stands.)

South Region football
Administrative Region #1
200-mile radius to sweep into PA
E8 conference.

They can get 10 in-region games easily.

Now we have to wait and see what happens with Wesley. I just find it hard to believe that Salisbury would go with out Wesley. Frostburg I am not so suprised about!! The held the original ACFC up for a few years to begin with..

PA_wesleyfan · July 13, 2009, 04:25:21 PM

Salisbury and Frostburg are leaving the ACFC. I guess Wesley becomes and true Independent again after next season.

Hampton U SID · July 13, 2009, 05:29:04 PM

yep. things will become more interesting

Sid

That seems to be an open ended cliff hanger???

Hampton U SID · July 13, 2009, 05:59:57 PM

yeah.......it doesn't bode well at all. We each have our own issues with scheduling, it'll be much more challenging now.

Why not join the NJAC like I have been saying the past (2) years along with Salisbury and let a few Up-State teams join the Up-State Guys. The Private vs State stuff is all BS when it comes to Football. Salibbury is now gone and time for Wesley to join the NJAC and then see how it plays out.

Because I understand that the NJAC has roster limits and Wesley has squads that are larger than the NJAC roster limit.

That is a deal-breaker for Wesley.

Wow, I didn't see that coming at all. I am surprised that SU left without Wesley as well and the travel that will be involved. With most of the Empire 8 is in the north, that will make for some long road trips. It does solve a lot of scheduling problems for SU and they now have a chance at an AQ. Right now the Gulls need to virtually go undefeated just to make the playoffs. I would still rather see a CAC conference in the future. Does this make Salisbury an East region team now?

We don't know the details of the length of the affiliation for Salisbury and Frostburg.

The Capital AC can offer football anytime they want and the then FSU and Salisbury get "called home" altho' they might have "dual" membership" as a current 10-game schedule will permit.

Who is rushing to add football as a sport? Hood? Stt Mary's MD? York PA? Mary Washington?

We have not heard of Elmira or Stevens adding football.

Salisbury can petition to become an East Region team if they wish, but I think that they have more in-region opponents by staying a South Region team and the E8 appealing to become a multi-region conference. (A better solution is for D-III to pass legislation that makes all conference games in-region.)
