Some folks think just because collegiate realignment has yielded few hits on the Patriot League hit parade, it doesn't really matter to them.
I mean, what is it to the Patriot League if the CAA comes back from the jaws of the dragon, or if Conference USA is out of control, or the Atlantic Ten is simply dreaming that the Big East basketball conference breaks apart?
As I started to mention yesterday (http://lehighfootballnation.blogspot.com/2012/05/why-wind-of-change-in-collegiate.html), it very much does matter. In the case of Georgetown, their TV deal with the Big East could very much affect the availability of aid for other sports programs, including football.
In the case of Fordham, the Patriot League's other affiliate program in football, the winds of change are, without question, even more pronounced.
