[QUOTE=RichH2;3188892][QUOTE=NY Crusader 2010;3188891]Holy Cross and Colgate are in same boat as liberal arts colleges. Lehigh and Bucknell are technically universities but are mainly liberal arts...

Isn't there a 'minimum' number of credits that the student must be taking to be enrolled? I thought it was 12 (indeed, back in my day I think 9 was permissible). If so, taking only 12 credits a...

Yes, SUNY-Ithaca…..😉

It appears that will be occurring. UR will have a few years advantage as the rest of the League won’t start getting red shirt recruits until fall, 2025. Similar to how HC dominated a few years when...

Is that limited to a certain number per team?

Remember that W&M were ORIGINALLY part of PL , née Colonial Conference, but then backed out when the alums went nuts over the no athletic scholarships rule that applied back then. With that hurdle...

The IL is funny. Their “AI” seems to be a moving target. I know that our admissions wouldn’t approve of several football applicants over the years that were recruited and played for Penn.

Agreed. I was on that call as well, and have no recall of that subject coming up, and I checked my notes. That is something I would have noted. Red shirting is the biggest reason the PL struggles...

you aer correct about the PL not going for the “pay the players” model if that comes to pass, but the schools will still play football. I see them going back to the old ‘grant in aid’ model’, which...

Good question. PL may prefer to have an even 8 teams that allows 3 OOC games. Any more adds, puts more restrictions on schedule flexibility. I see the academic index remaining. It was one of the...

[/B]​To quote Roseanne Rosannadana, "It's aways something..."

At present, Lehigh has a WR from Boston College and an RB from Miami, OH. No idea on their ratings, but does give us more depth at RB which is needed.

If Lehigh can stay healthy, we will be better this year, and should be in the second tier of the PL. We lack depth, in terms of experience. If the OL gets dinged badly, it will be a tough road. How...

The QB situation will be a 'hold the fort' until one of the two frosh are ready to roll. Both are extremely good athletes with different strengths. Perri was #2 last year as Cahill wanted to give...

Lehigh is bringing in perhaps the largest recruiting class, ever; considering the small size of rosters up until the 1970’s, with 36. Not sure if that number includes two or three transfers. Four or...

Agreed. I am hopeful that once this gets to federal court, it will be knocked down. I don't see the students as "employees". Typically, in business, an employee is hired to provide a service to the...

Thanks for posting the article. Sort of states the obvious...something must be done. I am glad some are taking the lead and getting serious discussions going regarding the future of colleges "of...

That's exactly what I was referring to up above. And, regarding Georgetown, they are the one PL school in football that does have a a 'national cache' that could be used in recruiting if they were...

Yes! Depth has been the #1 problem for Lehigh and the PL. This is magnified when we play schools with unlimited rosters i.e. Princeton, Yale, etc. with well over 100. The added depth gives a much...

I don't think scholarships is the answer. I you have a robust grant in aid program, you can do just as well, or better. Many in the PL were adamant that scholarships were not the answer, just a more...

Yes, I just saw the headline and short blurb. The ruling will certainly be appealed and that could likely go to the Supremes, as well. Pandora's box has been opened and the worms are on the loose.

Supposedly not in the "portal" but word on the Lehigh campus is that Silbor has actually left school and that Sr. Dante Perri, who was the primary starter in '21 and '22, is coming back to use his...

Hearsay out of Bethlehem is that Lembo and Cahill have spoken and a game in Buffalo may be on the horizon in a year or two.

[/B]Never, ever going to happen. PL presidents won't allow it...unless there was an emergency situation to replace a sudden departure.

Lehigh beat Buffalo back in 2002, 37-26, that at the time extended Lehigh's regular season winning streak to 24 games! During our "Oasis Years" (as opposed to the recent 'Desert Years')xsmiley_wix
