Following its four-day session of spring meetings in Hilton Head Island, S.C., the Southern Conference announced Friday that it will raise its exit fee to $1 million. The fee is an increase of $400,000, from the $600,000 it cost to leave the league prior. The league's presidents also voted to increase the fee for leaving the SoCon with less than a year's notice to $1.25 million. The move is in an effort to bring stability to a conference that has fallen victim to several teams leaving in recent years. The College of Charleston left for the Colonial Athletic Association in the summer of 2013, and four more teams will be leaving the league at the end of June. Appalachian State and Georgia Southern will be heading to the Sun Belt, Davidson is moving to the Atlantic 10 and Elon will be joining College of Charleston in the CAA. Three teams will be joining the SoCon to replace those leaving.

Follow me to Cullowhee. High in the mountains, far from Elon’s fountains. There’s no Zack’s Hot Dogs, but you’ll drive past some hogs. Home to Catamounts football, a disaster each fall. Poor WCU, at least Elon couldn’t beat you. A school in the valley, surrounded by a hill. Better scenery than a Burlington textile mill. Statesboro, Ga., we haven’t ignored ya. Middle of nowhere, the Eagles’ lair. Country folk abound, no phone service to be found. Wanting a payday, GSU called a mayday. An FBS conference would be better, they felt. So Southern headed off to the Sun Belt. They brought along their friends from Boone. App State is moving up, despite last season’s swoon. No more Elon visits to the Rock, Or to see Chattanooga’s Moc. Seven hours away in Tennessee bussed the Phoenix to UTC. Instead of facing chaos, Elon would rather play lacrosse. Furman plays this hot new sport. Upon a horse the Paladin did ride, but the Phoenix did not turn and hide. Elon pulled the football upset, easing that pain of athletic debt. Nearby Furman lies the grounds of Wofford. We will miss the thrill Terriers games offered. A frequent visitor to the Big Dance, the campus is filled with Khaki pants. Down in Charleston lies The Citadel, Where football games are celebrated with cannon shell. Basketball is a struggle at this military school, Where a rifle is an essential tool. Samford is so far away, In the Central Time Zone do the Bulldogs play. The trip there is quite the ride, down to the land of the Crimson Tide. It’s a shorter journey to the home of the Tourney, For at Greensboro Coliseum you can see, Wes Miller’s Spartans of UNCG. It’s a neighborhood rivalry when these teams ball, Elon sees them at the mall. Wes has an empty trophy box, a far cry from that of the Silver Fox. It only takes one gas tank fill-up to reach the abode of Bob McKillop. Davidson College is the league’s hub of knowledge. A traditional rivalry, Elon-Davidson was the place to be. As we approach this historic day, An exit fee is left to pay, as Elon heads off to the CAA. Colonial Williamsburg is a new destination, Near Jamestown, the birthplace of our nation. Same with Drexel in the heart of Philly, January there could get chilly. Goodbye SoCon, we will miss you so, To greener pastures Elon must go. CAA-ya later.
