We were told a couple weeks ago but I’m sure as hell not going to announce the new conference on a message board before the school announces it.
It's not if the MAAC is a good fit for Robert Morris. It's if Robert Morris is a good fit for the MAAC.
Agree that Robert Morris is too good to be desirable to another conference. They are really good. Travel is the issue.lilax wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 3:37 pmIt's not if the MAAC is a good fit for Robert Morris. It's if Robert Morris is a good fit for the MAAC.
I don't see the MAAC adding Robert Morris. The school profile doesn't fit in with the MAAC schools. Very similar to why they didn't add Cleveland State. It isn't like it was 10 years ago when the MAAC needed teams and had Wagner and VMI in it.
St. Bonaventure was added because they are a small catholic school with many ties to the Tri-State area and already had a rivalry in other sports with Canisius.
The conference is sitting at 7 teams which is a good number for conferences.
Also why would the coaches and AD's want to add an affiliate that would come in and be arguably the best team?
I really don't know if Robert Morris will find a conference. There isn't a conference out there that is in dire need to add teams to keep their AQ. Which is unfortunate because they are a fun team to watch and with McMinn as the HC, they have a ton of upside.

SoCon makes a lot of sense. HP and Bellarmine Have traveled to Moon Township twice in the past 4 years. SoCon has to be concerned about losing members. Hannan leaves Mercer for club job. VMI coach leaves for a HS job. Air Force attractive to a future western conference.lilax wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 3:37 pmIt's not if the MAAC is a good fit for Robert Morris.
