Oh, come on! this c**p again? Lehigh is #31 to Fordham's #67. So what? UC-Berkly is #21 and UNC is #28, does that prove Lehigh is inferior to those super-sized public schools? I'd sooner send my kids to Lehigh than UNC or Berkley, so rankings serve a purpose, but is often tied to facilities and money and USN&WR has gotten a lot of heat for how it determines rankings. Georgetown, which has taken a LOT of heat on the PL boards for football and slammed for basketball, is ranked #23! I don't see GU folks, after seeing negative posts against them, coming on these boards to suggest that Lehigh be dropped for lesser standards. What matters is that both Fordham and American are in the top 100 national universitites in the nation, a nation of some 3,000 colleges and universities. No one is here trashing Lehigh for not being top 20 or top 25.

Go--gate is 100% right-If AU needs to address some issues of academic performance of their team, they will. Bertha, it seems to me that you are quick to slam the two schools that A)are not original members and B)won the PL championships in the two big sports. Instead of talking trash, how about supporting the two PL MEMBER schools that won the championships and went on to represent the PL in NCAA play. I guess all is wrong with the world if Lehigh isn't King of the Hill for fans like Bertha.
