Pitt has seen a significant depletion in talent the last 2 years. The Panthers simply lack the support/NIL funds to win the arms race. The 'Guins should have a good shot to make this a 4 quarter game...

There are student-athletes who are enrolled in graduate certificate programs that are eligible.
Max Abmas immediately came to mind from my time at UT last summer....
...
Lehigh has a substantial graduate program but it should be larger imo.
The College of Education does award undergrad degrees/admit traditional freshman. However, it's a joint B.A. and M.A in...
St. Thomas qualifies as D1 in Minnesota.
Wisconsin has only the Badgers. Otherwise, no other public/private FBS and/or FCS programs.
The SoCon and PL seem to have about the same ceiling right now. The only difference is the SoCon has remained a bit deeper. Even so, the gap between these two conferences has dwindled in recent...
"Dumpster Fire" might be a bit extreme but the league really hit the skids 6 through 7 from 2015-2021 or so. UNH absolutely made the right decision to stay the course assuming the PL was not going to...
I've been to JCF for big games between Lehigh/Fordham and I always enjoyed the atmosphere. Fordham has a loyal, passionate fan base and the stadium itself is just big enough to get loud/have an...
Redshirting was the driving force that led Lehigh and Delaware to stop playing iirc. Lehigh preferred the games later in the year to close the experience gap while Tubby wanted the meetings to be...
The PL also knows the need to adapt to the changing climate of Division 1 football. The league office is finally acting in a proactive manner to enhance their current membership's ambitions while...
Fordham also went toe-to-toe with a good Ohio team in 2022 then beat Buffalo last season. Two PL teams (Lafayette and Fordham) have already been noted for their potential to beat a pair of MAC...
UNH was also the #1 overall seed in 2005 when they lost to UNI in Durham. The Panthers would lose to App State in the title game. I always looked at the 2005 team as UNH's best because of the...
Richmond doesn't move the needle enough to "strong arm" the league. However, as I stated (or believe), Villanova does have the "power" to force concessions on a longstanding policy or two. This is...
I referenced Towson in general terms as they pertain to the FCS landscape. I think most would have guessed UNH and/or W&M as the other possibilities. Ironically, W&M lost in the semifinals to 'Nova...
Villanova is the program with the most pedigree left in the CAA as its presently constructed. They're the only program left in the CAA with a 1-AA/FCS National Championship. Towson of all programs is...
Villanova has dominated the PL for 30+ years. Hell, they've dominated Delaware for 20-25 years. They are the premier FCS program in the Northeast. While they might not "dominate" the CAA, they became...
The PL has 2 potential Top 25 teams heading into the year. I don't see Colgate or HC overcoming their difficult OOC schedules to the point where they are able to break through....
Lafayette at #17...
That is the critical component to all this! IF the PL makes one or two concessions in order to facilitate expansion then the entire trajectory naturally changes. Not only would the league be getting...
The article is behind a paywall but it will get the discussion rolling nonetheless....
States the PL or SoCon as the most likely destination?
...
Lafayette earned the auto-bid last year. The Leopards will be the favorite again heading into the season. Fordham absolutely has the personnel to win the league. Can their coach lead them to such a...
Seems like a practical look at the league in April. Lafayette's schedule definitely favors them imo. The biggest question to me is can Conlin get Fordham to reach their maximum potential? Because if...
Is anyone else following "The Travels of Clifton McDowell"? Sounds like he has decommitted from Prairie View A&M and is now headed to McNeese State? What in the world is going on??...
McDowell headed to Prairie View A&M?
I would pushback on "everyone is happy" with Dakosty. Stan felt compelled to pen a letter to the 'Gate faithful before the Raider's rivalry game with Cornell in an attempt to settle the growing...
A quick glance...the Patriot League has 3 very winnable FBS games imo...
- Lafayette at Buffalo...this has to be one FCS's best opportunities to get a scalp. The PL has a winning record against...
The NEC has basically evolved into what the MAAC was 25 years ago.
