It's unclear what you mean by this post. But it doesn't address the fact that the PL will continue to self-destruct it's own teams by them having to play each other home and home, thereby driving down member's RPI. All I can say is, am I glad we're out of that nightmare. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Ramses 's message, "You mean like HC , Vermont and Bucknell five yars ago?? Scholarships, bright student athletes, and coaches who prefer teaching to recruiting have turned the tide. Let's hope the tide floats more and more boats in the future. The NCAA must not backslide in its half-hearted attempts to devise a fairer RPI." on Sat March 19, 2005 15:57:25

The Patriot League's performance in the past week of post-season may ease the nightmare a bit. The introduction of even limited scholarships is beginning to come to frutition at the top of the conference. We'll have to see what the future holds. BTW, I hope you guys do fete that 70-71 team, which was a great ballclub. (NT) -- Go...'gate, Sat March 19, 2005 23:34:30
- It will still be an uphill battle for the PL. There are a lot of scholarship conferences out there that rarely, if ever, get a 2nd bid. This year HC deserved consideration more than ever, but without a marquee win they were not going to get in. It will take a very special year from one of your teams and then an upset in the final in order to get 2 bids b/c they basically ignore your conference record as being against 2nd rate competition (not that it necessarily is).
