We play football because we have one of the great football traditions, we can play at a competitive level without breaking the bank, and football is a great way to get alumni, their families, and students together on campus to support their school on glorious autumn days. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

Re: Sounds like after today, you may get to see some of those nice afternoons from the new West Side Stadium. But if you are going to do that, Fordham would have to make the move to 1-A. I'm still hoping you will stay with the PL. I saw Fordham's first PL game against Colgate in '89 and I'm looking forward to many more Fordham-Colgate FB matchups.

To ever make the move to 1-A football, Fordham would first have to go full scholarship 1-AA in the CAA to make that transition. Going from the Patriot League to 1-A in football would be the equivalent of moving from Div. 3 to 1-AA, which we already have done and it was painful. (NT) -- Rambacker, 22:08:18 03/31/05 Thu

OK, let's continue following that logic. Since we have one of college football's finest traditions and are already playing with a 1-AA full scholarship level budget, don't we want to be the best we can possiblybe at the 1-AA football level and join America's top 1-AA football conference, the CAA? I think the answer is yes. (NT) Rambacker 22:03:55 03/31/05 Thu
