According to Frostburg State University Athletic Director Troy Dell, finding replacements for Wesley College and Marymount University “will not be a quick fix.” Following news of the two schools’ movement to a new league, a committee has been looking for nine months to fill their positions. To fill in the lack of the two teams, most Frostburg State University teams are adding two extra non-conference match-ups to still play the same amount of games.

Recently, on Monday, March 5, President Ronald Nowaczyk sent an email to the Frostburg campus updating students and faculty on the current state of the athletic conference affiliation. Since the email announcement, the notion that Frostburg would potentially compete in the NCAA Division II has created significant buzz among students, faculty, and staff.

Nowaczyk noted that Frostburg State is committed to maintaining the stability of CAC but will explore further options to protect the University’s 21 varsity sports. He also mentioned that Frostburg decided to utilize the services of Strategic Edge Athletic Consultants who would oversee “an assessment of the athletic program’s readiness to compete” at the Division II level.
