CAA Football Domino Effect: UMASS May Push New Hampshire Out

Here We Go!

UMASS announcing their plans has the other New England schools re-evaluating.  New Hampshire Athletic Director Marty Scarano:

"I've been working hard for two years looking at our status in the CAA and what that means, and what we mean to the CAA, as well as contingency plans."

"Travel's the most obvious (concern)," said Scarano. "There are going to be a lot of people traveling in ways they haven't before. More flights going down there and more flights coming up here."

"And the time, it couldn't be worse given the huge expense of travel right now. But (UNH's long-term) decision is not going to be anything just predicated on the finances."

11 football playing schools in 2011 and 10 (when we join) in 2012.  The writing is on the wall for these schools.  New Hampshire and Maine will be next to jump ship.  They cannot afford the increasing travel costs and will likely follow Rhode Island.  Like the Bud Light slogan says, "Here We Go."
