This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Bringing back Atlantic 10 football would make a lot of sense by LuckyMcD

The Atlantic 10 has a bunch of teams that play 1-AA football. The Big East also has a few teams that do. Connecticut football would need a new home if they go back to the Big East. Massachusetts football has been a miserable failure at the 1-A level. Combining all of those interests into one league makes a lot of sense. Something like:

Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut
Fordham
Duquesne
Villanova

Dayton
Butler
James Madison
Georgetown
Richmond
Davidson

Maine, New Hampshire, Holy Cross, Delaware, Towson, and Williams & Mary could also be considered depending on just how large a league they wanted.
