Had that not been stopped I could see 2-3 conference like that right now. And no one will ever turn Davidson around they are who they are, just like VMI.

Comparing Davidson to VMI is just crazy! Never did understand why any football player would go to VMI ....but Davidson, I have known athletes that would not only pay the tuition but do anything to play for Davidson. It has been a football coaching dilemma at Davidson for many years, Coach Abell is a high quality person and coach. The school's President is a strong advocate of all Davidson athletics. It would be great to see them return to scholarship football. Keep an eye on Coach Abell....he will be moving up in FCS!!
