You might ask if Nova would trade home games Campbell, Hampton, or NC A&T for home games with Bucknell (not to mention HC, GU, Colgate, Fordham, Lafayette or Lehigh). 🤔

Beyond that, I’m sure there...

Can see the possible mutual attraction of ‘football only’ for Patriot League - Villanova. Lots of natural rivalries and application overlaps there (HC, Fordham, Georgetown).

Not so clear regarding...

“Bolt”? To be fair, he spent four great undergraduate years playing football at Holy Cross, is graduating in May with a Holy Cross degree, and heading off for a fifth (Covid) year in FCS.
But your...

I stand corrected. GU’s Danny Lauter’s only career start was v Laffy. I saw that game and he looked pretty good. I forgot Knoop is now at Stony Brook.

Holy Cross’ only QB with any college...

Seems pretty fair. As far as Holy Cross goes, with the roster talent level way down with the graduations over the last two years and with the most inexperienced quarterback room in the Patriot...

When a team breaks parity for an extended period of time (recently, Colgate Men’s Hoops and Holy Cross football) it is particularly impressive.

Yes, PL recruiting success v CAA (and MAC) was the secret to Holy Cross success over the last five or six years. It seemed several players were on the fence between Holy Cross and UNH…and ultimately...

For Holy Cross and Fordham out-recruiting MAC and CAA for talented kids has been the way forward. Their focus is on winning the PL and advancing in the playoffs. As far as rankings go, scheduling CAA...

Agree with much of this (although Fordham's not in a rebuild). Although HC lost tons of talent (including a talented head coach), they do bring back the QB who beat Fordham and Lehigh last year and...

Holy Cross v Merrimack is a good football rivalry between two Catholic FCS Massachusetts teams that should continue.

At this point, given the fact they somehow missed on an upcoming MAC opening, UD fans can choose to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. In other words, pretend C-USA is a better fit than MAC. Some...

Nothing wrong with Dartmouth negotiating over fair wages with their basketball team and being unable to come to terms. The kids can decide if they want to play or not play for the school team in that...

Since Stony Brook’s administration and student body are thoroughly disinterested in football and the football program is struggling mightily to be competitive in FCS (2-19 over the last two years),...

Maybe UConn will enter the MAC as football only.

Delaware may be a bit steamed right now.

From reading the Delaware message board now and again it seems at least some Delaware fans preferred the MAC and saw it as a better ‘fit’.

UMass is going to be MAC in all sports (I think it was...

Stony Brook's student body and administration is so disinterested in football they could make the move to some wacky and faraway FBS conference and nobody would know or care.

And Boston College in the ACC (although this coming year they‘ve got a couple of tough OOC games).

They may also buy out the ‘loan’ portion of the financial aid package (a robust component of the ‘equivalency’ portion…but I have no recent info).

If I am extrapolating the snippets correctly, HC in 1950 was a very different place: 1,000 resident students (and a pretty good majority of them from outside New England) plus 500 day students. All...
