The media coverage footprint for the CAA is much larger than the Patriot League. It will reach from Virginia to Maine and will provide much more television/print exposure. This is a region in which we recruit students heavily. The Patriot League is limited to PA, Hamilton, NY and Worcester, MA. Plus playing William and Mary, Richmond, Nova, Delawar, etc. provides good academic partners. And I believe Holy Cross will go CAA if we do. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: PA Ram 's message, "How does affiliating ourselves with more big state schools in the CAA than we have now in the PL as well as starting to offer scholarships better "support our mission as a university"?" on 09:32:11 03/09/05 Wed

What about GT in DC? Why do you believe HC would be interested in CAA? (NT) DamnRam 14:30:15 03/09/05 Wed

The natives(read that alums and students) are restless at HC. They have a 20,000+ seating capacity for their stadium and have had paltry crowds and big problems trying to be competitive without scholarships. There are lots of HC alums that want their football program back. (NT) -- Rambacker, 16:01:26 03/09/05 Wed

But Pres. McFarland and former Pres. Brooks are not inclined to go that route. A group of very vocal alums want it, but it's probably not enough to get the school to change. (NT) -- bfg, 08:01:02 03/10/05 Thu

It's all about the HC Board. I'm told that the holdover Brooks supporters on the board there are dwindling and being replaced by people who may want a change. There are many lobbying. When was the last time HC had a winning football record? Stay tuned on that one. (NT) -- Rambacker, 10:11:24 03/10/05 Thu
Holy Cross football has to be the last team ANY conference would want right now. No one will be taking them. (NT) -- colgate13, 10:44:52 03/10/05 Thu

Incorrect. HC has a good football tradition and how many 1-AA teams have a 20,000+ stadium? With schollies they can win - without them they can't. (NT) -- Rambacker, 10:59:31 03/10/05 Thu

Your last post may be true but that will simply help us with marketing Fordham to an expanded geography not better "support our mission as a university." Just my .02. (NT) PA Ram 09:54:07 03/10/05 Thu

My point is that marketing Fordham will be a major part of our future mission, so the expanded footprint serves that purpose. (NT) -- Rambacker, 10:13:12 03/10/05 Thu
