Subject Author Date I have trouble seeing Richmond leaving and not being in same conference as W&M, their oldest rival. It might work if they moved together. Throw in 'Nova and we have one heck of a I-AA football conference. (NT) bfg 08:56:39 03/02/05 Wed Richmond already severed ties with W&M in all other sports when it jumped to the A-10 from the CAA. I agree that football may be different. On the other hand, from what I hear about the football situation at Richmond, the administration has a lukewarm committment to the sport. The PL may be a good fit, because the school does not seem committed to competing at the level necessary to field a consistent A-10/CAA program. (NT) JoltinJoe 10:30:31 03/02/05 Wed Also, if Richmond joins the PL beginning in 2007, we get to knock off the schedule one of those "mid major" games. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, 10:43:36 03/02/05 Wed Agree about most sports, Joe, but I think the UR/W&M game is among the oldest football rivalries in the country. I looked at the UR message board and they don't want to give that up. They may wind up joining the PL, but their fans aren't happy about it. (NT) -- bfg, 10:43:46 03/02/05 Wed If they move to the PL, I assume they could keep scheduling the game as an OOC game. (NT) -- DebataRam, 10:56:05 03/02/05 Wed Yes, but their schedule starts to get tough logistically. They see their big rivals as W&M, JMU, 'Nova and Delaware. They also play a I-A game. It becomes tough to keep all of those games on a PL schedule. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them in the PL and I think they may well make the move. I'm just try ing to look at the situation as they see it. (NT) -- bfg, 11:07:29 03/02/05 Wed Yes, that's why I said football may be different. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, 11:08:37 03/02/05 Wed
