You made two contradicting statements. One was that two people were responsible for our move up, and the other was that the move was mandated. We could have stayed in Div. 3, but the Visiting Committee made it possible to move to 1-AA. Not two people. What's important now is that we're in the wrong conference. Fordham needs full scholarships at the 1-AA level to be consistently successful. The future will be very interesting. Stay tuned when new athletic management takes over. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: An Old Coach 's message, "So your saying that the NCAA didn't mandate this? Wow. I guess I was at a different NCAA convention. I never said the visiting committee didn't supported. I am saying they didn't drive it and if there had been the kind of support other schools get, it wouldn't have taken over ten years and 4 coaches before we reached respectibility." on 12:06:11 12/12/04 Sun

Reading is fundemental! I said two men were primarily responsible for elevating the program, as in building support so we weren't doing this with a D-III budget. Staying D-III was not an option unless we were moving the entire program down to D-III. (NT) An Old Coach 16:51:09 12/13/04 Mon

Proper english is fundamental. By the way, fundamental is not spelled fundemantal. If that's what you meant, it was not at all clear from your statement. Div. 3 was an options at all times. (NT) -- Rambacker, 22:33:15 12/13/04 Mon

You got me! No, moving the entire program to DIII was never an option. That would have required a decision and commitment to something. Not the Fordham style in athletics. (NT) -- An Old Coach, 08:18:31 12/14/04 Tue

You might be right on that one. (NT) -- Rambacker, 09:17:28 12/14/04 Tue
