In reply to: An Old Coach 's message, "Full scholarships don't guarantee anything. There are dozens of scholarship programs that go nowhere because the head coach or the staff can't recruit. If just having scholarships were the answer, there would be no losing teams, would there? College football is all about recruiting. Our aid package plus our reputation will bring most kids here. Will we lose a few? Sure. You'll lose kids even with scholarships. There are a lot of priorities (read facilities) that I would rather take care of first." on 15:24:35 12/15/04 Wed

However, scholarships plus our reputation will bring most kids here. There are 120 I-AA football programs and I can only think of three I-AA scholarship schools with better academic reputations than Fordham (Richmond, William & Mary, and Furman � Wofford and Villanova are academically on par with Fordham).

Don't sell yourself short; you're better than Richmond and I think better than Wofford as well. (NT) -- LUHawker, 10:01:31 12/17/04 Fri

It's all part of a mix. You're offering a chance to be in NY as well, don't underestimate that. I still maintain that of all the things we have to do in order for the program to move forward, the most important is facilities. (NT) An Old Coach 18:26:00 12/15/04 Wed
