In years past, no, but suddenly new rules for certain kickoff times essentially made them a requirement.

So it's your belief that Lehigh is not capable of hosting? So they could play a top shelf OOC schedule, go undefeated, earn a top 2 seed and be sent on the road? That would be a travesty. Goodman should absolutely be capable of hosting postseason football. Start the donation drive now!

well if seeded they get a home game, unless they change that rule

If that happens (which isn't in the foreseeable future based on our OOC schedules), then I'm done with the playoffs. This isn't about Lehigh not stepping up and supporting the program. Goodman is one of the better facilities in all of FCS. I see it as plainly a power grab by a few schools to ensure that certain "power teams" always have home games in the playoffs.

ESPN wanted late starts for the games so NCAA gave it to them. A one off? Pretty sure it depends on ESPN scheduling.

This.
There is no other reason why UNH should be hosting night games in mid-to-late December.

I know when Colgate was seeded in 2003 they opted to play their semifinal game against FAU on the road. Not sure if Lehigh would be forced to in that situation. Either way, if Lehigh can't host then I don't think they should participate in the playoffs....

Holy Cross at Bucknell, week 2-- an indicator on how the middle of PL might play out.
