Good catch. I wasn't thinking that far back. Especially with the Baltimore reference. The Mount is probably over an hour from Baltimore... maybe 60 or 70 miles.

If you don't have time to do something right, when will you have time to do it over?

We were also in a conference with Towson, I think, but that may have been the early years in the Big South.

MSM is <an hour from Baltimore. And not looking to leave NEC any time near future. Travel costs are nice and tidy, it’s a bus league.

For a cash-strapped tiny college, moving from NEC to ASun is a non-starter.

Yes, Towson was in the Big South back in the day. The only other DI school that I can think of, that hasn't been mentioned, in the Baltimore area is Loyola, which is in the Patriot League.

Crazy idea: What about SoCon oddball UNCG to the ASUN? They're the only non-football school in that league.

It would be a good addition for ASUN MBB. They've been solid for years. I don't see it happening because it would be a huge increase in travel expense for them.
