We already have a light non-conference load. :P

And I don't think we could go 7-4 right away. 7-4 in the CAA makes the playoffs. Teams like Delaware struggle to get there. We'd need a couple years to get caught up. I think we'd go 5-6 or 6-5 for a couple years.
You are entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. I think the teams from the last few years would have needed a couple years to turn the corner. If Liberty were to move to the CAA, we would immediately be a player that would compete for a championship. Bank it.
So the loss to Stony Brook proved that? Or the one to JMU? :P

I know this is a good team. I've been really amped about them before, and I believe we're going to have a great season. I just don't think we're at that level yet to say we'd be that legit of a contender in a conference with true powerhouses at the top. We really are the Boise State of FCS, we might be able to knock off a big team now and then, but are we ready to face them week in and week out for a whole season?

Our inclusion in CAA would instantly help our recruiting efforts. We would be on level playing field with everyone in FCS and as a result I agree wholeheartedly with SumItUp. This is also a reason why we may have difficulty getting support from other Virginia-based CAA schools who want no piece of us being on their level.
