Those six don't have a hard enrollment cap enforced by city authorities. As such, adding a scholarship is not a marginal change when the alternative is the loss of a student paying tuition.

Lack of administrative support is false. Without administrative support, Georgetown football would have gone the way of football at Seton Hall or Xavier.
The short answer to a long question is...
Draconian restrictions = Admission by Index
No disdain, but some frustration that nothing ever changes with these two schools.
PL standings every year pass between the same five schools.
Championships since 2001:
Lehigh 7
Colgate 7
Holy Cross: 6
Lafayette 5
Fordham 4

Bucknell 0
Proximity is relative. It's 300 miles from Philadelphia to Worcester. Still, and this was a question I asked elsewhere, is...why?
If a school could win a national title in the CAA, regularly make...
Villanova has played Holy Cross twice since, what, 1980? It hasn't scheduled Georgetown since 1950.

Holy Cross never had a real rivalry with Georgetown: they played just seven times from 1913 to 1950.
Were it not for the PL, I don't think Holy Cross would be interested in playing Georgetown.
It was a rhetorical question. There are some HC fans who would prefer local opponents over relatively distant programs that are not competitive in the current PL model. There is likely a smaller...
You don't even have to be a big state school. For these schools, it takes three things:
1. Add 22 scholarships;
2. Secure state appropriations and student fees to support travel; and
3. Booster...
Not arguing it, but the PL can adjust the schedules anyway they see fit.
Only because NCAA ice hockey is rarely seen south of Interstate 70.
The Wheatshockers would be an AAC football program today had they stayed.
It takes two to schedule and when you've won just 30 games in 10 seasons Rob Sgarlata isn't looking to take a game at Northern Iowa and have to explain a 60-0 loss to those in the University largely...
With a unexpected dismissal, a terse quote that "he is no longer with" Hampton and a 404 error on his web page bio, this isn't a mutual agreement to move on.
If HC is the "most inexperienced", it's not by much. Georgetown's QB depth chart:
Danny Lauter: Two seasons, one game played
Jordan Holmes: One season, no games
Jacob Holtschlag: One season, no...
With the exception of FIU and (maybe) Kennesaw State, the "geographic areas with growing populations" of the C-USA are probably a tough sell for high school kinds considering Murfreesboro, Huntsville...
Both Howard and Georgetown had October 5 open but, as discussed before, Howard has no interest in scheduling this game.
A good step forward for Towson.

This assumes they had the chance.
Will Villanova ever schedule Georgetown? If not, why not?
That's fair. Troxell is in great shape, Sgarlata too but for different reasons, and everyone else is under some expectation to improve in 2024.
There's no hot seat in Patriot Land:
Everyone Is Happy: Troxell, Dakosty
New: Curran
Relatively New: Cahill
No Issues Yet: Conlin
Fit For Purpose: Sgarlata, Cecchini
