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.


 
 

This probably results in the OVC footprint shifting more towards IL with any future additions.

A few more fcs dominoes are about to fall into place within the next week or two
