I find your conversation refreshing and positive. It also confirmed what I have been saying for several weeks. The PL is more than just basketball and HC is more than just sports. Any school can get a winning top basketball team, if academics are lowered. The hard part is keeping your academic standards at the same time. Frankly, most PL sports teams have an average SAT that is closer 1250. For FB in the PL an 1100 SAT average would be low. Article in the Boston Globe yesterday noted that of the 64 women's BB teams in the NCAA tournament, Colgate had the highest graduation rate - 100%. Standford came in second at 93%. They measured freshwomen starting in '93 and going to '98, the latest figures available.

i hate to break it to you gate raider, but this isn't true. i'm afraid you have a very idealistic view of the patriot league. ask anyone close to any of the programs and they will tell you that an 1100 SAT for patriot league football is not that low, and i doubt that's even the average for most teams in the league. still good considering the shenanigans going in college sports today, but let's not pretend the PL is something it isn't.
