It's the same rumor feeding itself as these things tend to do. All schools referenced will be in the conference they are in today until the day that they are not. Seton Hall has no say in it beyond playing a part in keeping the basketball-centric schools aligned. All will say the right things until some football-involved conference gets desperate enough to offer millions, and at that point, those schools (i.e. Georgetown, Villanova hypothetically) will say different things.
This is just getting stupid now (as if it wasn’t already). There are no natural rivalries and there is no way in hell you can even come close to playing everyone in your conference once let alone twice. They’ll break into divisions like those that should be here, those we took because we thought we needed a presence in that market and finally mouths to feed.
Mike McBride needs to get us to the point we are always part of the discussion and not left on the outside looking in (despite how stupid these 30 team conferences will be).
What does he have to do with that???
Unfortunately, there’s nothing much that can be done when the schools calling the shots have parking lots for their 70,000 seat football stadiums that are bigger than the entire SHU campus.
The schools in power view the Catholic basketball-only schools like SHU fans view FDU Florham and Caldwell.
Get us to a point money-wise where we are consistently getting the players we need to not only compete for but win both conference and national championships so that when conferences with more money than we currently receive not only have Villanova in the conversation but Seton Hall as well.
I said nothing about football. 1-AA would be our ceiling anyway for football. I’d love it but I doubt I’ll live long enough to see it ever happen.
People always mention Villanova, we need Seton Hall to be mentioned in those same conversations.
No conference is seriously considering Nova as an expansion candidate. And if they did, upgrading football to FBS would be a requirement because it's the only thing P5 conferences care about regarding expansion.
Nova isn’t going to that level in Football. They‘re smart enough to not even try it.
Fwiw xavier is launching a football program. The BigEast is often referred to as b-ball only but half the schools (will) have football - nova, Georgetown, butler, UConn, Xavier.
It wouldn’t shock me if Dayton (another football school) replaced UConn once they leave for the ACC/Big12

Also, I think this report is bogus. If Clemson found a way out of the grant of rights they are going no where but the SEC. Same with FSU.
Xavier is not launching a football program, they're just considering it at this point. The reason they're considering football is absurd. Xavier's student population is 43% men, and the talking heads feel that adding football would increase enrollment of men.
Rutgers can't find a path to profitability in the Big Ten, how on earth would Xavier be able to do it?
What level is Xavier considering, 1A or 1AA, there’s a big difference. 1AA would certainly be worth considering. 1A not so much. Not really absurd if you want to increase your male enrollment.
On the record they said 1AA. Same level as Butler, Dayton, Nova, Etc
lol, I didn’t answer because I know you would jump it. Mine was, huh?
Please Mike MCBride, negotiate our conference affiliations if the P3 (at some point) blow up the joint.
Wait, what? 43%? Going back to college.
There is 1AA and 1AA. Schools like Nova and Delaware play at a very high FCS level. Butler and Dayton play at a level that the MAAC used to support years ago. Basically like D3 football but by NCAA rule they must be D1 if they are D1in other sports, with rare exceptions. That where X is looking and it would truly be to bump male enrollment, not to win an FCS title.
In the article I read it mentioned that Xavier was the first team Marshall beat at home following the plane crash. Interesting fact
Xavier considering rebooting football program

Monmouth also has supported a successful football program. To me, it would only be worth if if you could parlay it into a deal with Essex County/Newark/South Orange to fund and build a multipurpose stadium close to campus with Seton Hall as the main tenant with alternate use for soccer, high school sports, concerts, etc like Rutgers just announced with Middlesex County.
There’s actually a few clips in the movie “We Are Marshall”.

USWNT captain Lindsey Horan claps back at Carli Lloyd’s criticisms: ‘You have no idea’
By Christian Arnold
U.S. Women’s National Team coach Vlatko Andonovski already responded to Carli Lloyd’s blistering comments about his club, and now team captain Lindsey Horan is airing her frustrations against the former soccer star.
Horan said during a press conference Wednesday that the comments were “kind of frustrating for me to hear” when asked about the ex-USWNT player and current Fox Sports analyst’s criticisms, which came after the U.S. drew with Portugal earlier in the week.
“Especially knowing this team and how much we put into every single game,” Horan told reporters during a news conference.
Andonovski had called it “insane” to question the mentality and the team’s willingness to win earlier in the week.
Lloyd strongly criticized the USWNT for its effort against Portugal and how the team danced and smiled following the final game of the group stage that ended in a 0-0 draw.
Lloyd continued her criticism of the culture and mentality of the team in a follow-up interview with Fox Sports’ Martin Rogers.
Lloyd did soften her stance a bit, telling the Fox Sports audience Wednesday that “I want people to understand that I care deeply about this team.”
But Horan still stood in firm support of her team during the press conference.
“I always want to defend my team and say like, you have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes, you have no idea every single angle, every single training, like what we’re doing individually, collectively, et cetera,” Horan continued.
The USWNT has faced plenty of criticism of how it has played during the World Cup this year, especially since the tournament favorites were held off the board against Portugal and have just one win thus far.
While Horan acknowledged the squad should have played better, she said questioning their desire to win was a step too far for the USWNT captain.
“In this game, you can’t question that we didn’t want to win the game. You can’t question we weren’t working as hard as we possibly could. We know we could have done better,” she said.
“Again, it was a really good team that we faced. So you know, for me, it’s like, again, it’s noise and again, it’s an opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And you know, that’s how it goes.
“For anyone to question our mentality, you know, hurts a little bit, but at the end of the day, it’s like, doesn’t really matter. I don’t really care. It’s you know, what’s going on inside of here. It’s what’s going on inside of the team, and we’re getting ready for that next week.”
The USWNT will play its first match of the knockout round on Sunday against Sweden at 5 a.m.
