Subject: Fordham has one thing going for it that no other PL team does: genuine historical stature on a national basis. But we squander this advantage by failing to commit the resources necessary for the program to be successful on a yearly basis. We've been successful the last few years, but there's no assurance that will continue.

In reply to: LUHawker 's message, "No disrespect taken. Though Lehigh doesn't get too excited about FU either and I doubt Delaware, UMass or a I-A will. Unfortunately, I think you are still missing the fundamental tenet of my question, which is, if FU can't compete in the PL, why will it then be a better recruiter against UMass, Del, Villanova or W&M? I think FU's challenges go beyond conference affiliation. If Lehigh and Colgate can recruit well and be very competitive, why can't FU, since we all have the same constraints. Those A-10 schools have even more resources for FB than the PL. Just trying to really understand it." on 16:37:59 11/09/04 Tue

(continued) I'd like to see a stadium with more charm than the existing facility ( just a huge bleacher). Long term, I'd like to see the PL itself move to scholarship football, and take Richmond and Villanova from the CAA/A-10 mix. The best result for Fordham, as I see it, is no A-10 football after the CAA raid on the A-10, and a scholarship PL including Bucknell, Colgate, Fordham, Georgetown, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Richmond and Villanova -- a great league of first-tier institutions committed to playing I-AA football at its highest level. Now that is something we can market. (NT)JoltinJoe20:40:38 11/11/04 Thu
