The Nashua Telegraph says the recent changes in the CAA have put UNH athletics in a tought spot.

Some quotes from the article:

"Scarano says it costs, on average, between $35-40,000 to take his team and staff, about 90 people, to a road game in a Mid-Atlantic state, where much of the current CAA schools are based. But costs continue to rise with the price of air fares."

“The fact is, it drives a lot of things culturally,’’ Scarano said. “A successful football program sets the tone for the entire athletic program."

“When it comes to mobilizing alumni, friends and benefactors, nothing duplicates it. Hockey doesn’t duplicate it.’’
