The Big South Era of NC A&T could soon be coming to an abrupt end. A&T Director of Athletics Earl Hilton recommended that the school accept an invite to move from the Big South to the Colonial Athletic Association. Hilton stated that the invitation came “unexpected and unsolicited” last November. hbcugameday.com/2022/02/17/nc-at-ask-for-approval-to-move-to-caa/ |

Howard isn't going anywhere as for TnST. I've made a separate post/thread that's already addressed that. … Hilton acknowledged that he had discussions with MEAC commissioner Sonja Stills and reviewed a proposal from the MEAC, but that the Aggies were more in line with the CAA. “We are sure that North Carolina A&T State University made the choice that is appropriate for them at this time. We wish them well,” said Stills. “The MEAC Council of Chief Executive Officers reaffirms its commitment to a stable and viable Division I athletic conference, inclusive of the current ‘Elite Eight,’ and the MEAC is keeping its options open with regards to membership expansion.” Stills, in an earlier interview with The Undefeated, said she believes the MEAC is in a good place. “I see the MEAC flourishing, moving forward,” Stills said. “I don’t see us having to assimilate in order to have a strong athletic program. “We are just as strong and competitive as we were before, and I think that for us to continue to hold the legacy, the culture that we have … we can still give our fans the competitive great games that we’ve always given without feeling like we have to assimilate to predominantly white conferences.” Stills said she believes a market exists for the current four HBCU conferences – the Division I MEAC and Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and the Division II Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. … theundefeated.com/features/n-c-aampt-appears-headed-to-colonial-athletic-association-in-2022/ |

Okay, here's the thing. After revising this to include Monmouth, something became obvious. If the CAA are still looking to add schools, then clearly, they are already aware of schools that are going to leave if they are really planning on creating divisions.
