More details and silly discussion thereof is found on MAAC board.

Loyola to the Patriot league after this season Yes. I am aware of that. We now have ten. Loyola leaving brings us down to 9. The two added totals 11. Is someone else besides Loyola leaving...possibly Fairfield ? Word was they were opposed to QU coming in,but if they are leaving it would be a moot point. |

Monmouth in the league is a concern for me. No way we could recruit against them with their location and facilities.
They are 5-3 this year,Rice has them heading in the right direction including knocking off Binghamton 77-65 at Binghamton last night.

As opposed to the 9 other current members with better location and facilities?

Agree with spcfan....Monmouth would be a problem: not too far away (for kids who want to 'stay local'), better facilities, attractive campus, and great local press coverage.

Beach, Pier Village, nice campus, great facilities. With the right coach, all the ingredients for a consistently good mid major program.
Can't think of one reason, other than possible access to NYC, for a kid to choose SPU over Hawks, if both play in the same league.

I would think for the most part that we are already competiting with Monmouth for similar caliber players. I don't think them moving to the MAAC will give them much more of an advantage than they already have over us for the local talent. It's not like the MAAC is far superior to the NEC to the point where it gives SP an advantage over NEC schools for a kid who wants to play at a "higher level."
