Eastern football programs in limbo

[Box+1]

UMass needs a conference
Liberty wants to move up, but is being blackballed
Stony Brook and JMU are positioning themselves for a move
Army would be better off joining a conference like their military academy rivals

Three more schools needed to form an Eastern 8 conference
Nova, Delaware, Fordham, Citadel, William & Mary??

Not sure if you mean FBS for Nova, Delaware, etc. but, I really think that ship has left the dock. Hard to see how they can compete at the FBS level. The Power 5 will continue to expand their control. $$$$$$$$. A few more schools will find their way in and that will be it. The rest of the current FBS schools will essentially pick up the crumbs from the very powerful and lucrative Power 5 Conferences. Not sure where it leaves us, and other FCS schools long term. Attendance figures not too good across the country. Lots of tough decisions for many schools. Did Nostradamus have anything to say about this situation?
