I agree. I think HC enters next year either 1 or 2 depending on Hunt. After that, Georgetown, Lehigh and Fordham seem to fit in some order with Lafayette and Bucknell resigned to the basement.

Gate is the lock for #1 preseason. Agree Cross likely #2. After that its a crap shoot.

Meanwhile, a new "American Patriot League" has been formed. I guess the name "American Ivy League" wasn't available.

Seems like a trademark infringement.

Sounds like another failure for spring pro football...Two teams only so far: Mobile and Daytona Beach!

Probably true, but I'll take more football over less. Plus, if it's successful, we could get all of our playoff guarantees paid for by the settlement.

Interesting factoid as FCS enters the playoffs. Only 2 conferences have winning records vs the MVFC in the playoffs. The SoCon at 14-10. The PL at 3-2.

Just a reminder of who we were and must be again.

Absoutely! We know what the ceiling is. That's never been the question. The league desperately needs 2-3 relevant teams on a yearly basis.
