I think that the Big Atlantic Conference would have been cool with the tagline.....We've Got Your BAC.

Yeah I know that. What is best for the fans doesn't necessarily match up with that is best for the student-athletes and the bottom line. The 6pm start times seem to be an easy fix though.

Honestly 3 or 4pm starts on Thursdays would almost be better than 6pm which messes with people's dinner hours too much. I'd like to see them go back to 7pm. Don't really care when games start on Saturdays....although I really dislike 12 noon start times. I miss the Wednesday - Sat/Sun schedule.

It's important for Albany to ask itself a number of questions. You have to start with....what advantages does the CAA give Albany athletically and academically compared to AE. I'm not sure what the answers to that question are....maybe some of you can provide those. Secondly, does the CAA provide Albany with the opportunity to grow the athletic program as a whole? Third.....does the CAA open up new recruiting grounds for students and student-athletes. I would think that for student-athletes....the answer is yes. Not sure that average student is going to apply to Albany because they see them playing the Elon baseball team though. Fourth.....does this make economic sense? This is probably an important one for Albany administrators. Fifth.....would joining the CAA lead to increased attendance, giving and general excitement among the Albany fan and donor base? Sixth....does joining the CAA add prestige with measurable results (more donations, better quality student applications, better recruits, more revenue).....not just the feel good "we're rubbing shoulders with William & Mary at a cocktail party" type of stuff.....I see a lot of that Ivy-lite attitude as it relates to the CAA and recent additions.
