Sacred Heart (Fairfield, CT) is joining CAA Football: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_A ... Conference
They had been in the NEC from '99-'23 before going Independent last year and are right in the footprint of the current CAA Football, being very close to schools like Bryant, Rhode Island, Albany, Stony Brook, and Monmouth.

Tennessee Tech will be leaving the OVC and joining the SoCon next season (26/27). That will take the OVC-Big South down to 8 football teams.

Scott, sounds like their are rumors more OVC teams might leave and I'm thinking non football wise (mainly basketball) if so any idea who the conference might add? Any chance they would add Chicago St? especially since they are adding football.
