It's good to see a reasonable adult voice on this board, Bub.

With that, I'm leaving the inmates to you and leaving this asylum.

Happy trails.

I'm guessing that "mid-major" wasn't in your football vocabulary until you discovered this board. Didn't your son choose a I-AA school?

On a side note, Drake is fortunate that Ivy League schools...

Oh yes they do.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

This is a football board. I assume you meant the I-AA football playoff.

The MAAC has done a terrible job of saving football "on campus" or anywhere else. In case you weren't paying attention, you strange little man, MAAC programs have been slipping away.

So you don't know what you mean either. :confused:

Please explain.

I'm shocked that someone on this board doesn't understand who awards playoff bids. Well, it isn't the athletic directors' association.

I don't know what he intends to accomplish in his new...

Ben Jones of Purdue (Butler). He is one of the favorites for the Lou Groza Award, for which he was a semifinalist two years ago. Third in all-time field goals at Purdue.

Up to this point, no.

Now that they'll probably have to dump the north/south set up, I guess anything is possible.

Programs like St. Peter's and Iona will have to empty their piggy banks to...

The question is whether Duquesne would be motivated to make the switch. If it cut into scheduling games with Patriot & Ivy League teams, I don't think they would be interested. I think the...

Her commitment is to the Gateway. Fortunately, it doesn't depend on her. The coaches will work out whatever is necessary by January.

Too expensive, and the Patriot League doesn't want them.

There is no urgency for them to make a change. More likely than joining Patriot football would be a MAAC merger with the Pioneer schools. ...

Nor has it been the case with the Ivy League. Doesn't matter. I'm talking about a social atmosphere that goes way beyond football.

1. Ivy League, esp. Harvard and Yale.

Yes, this has to do with the schools' academic reputations and their ancient football histories. It also has to do with a perception (accurate or not) that...

Sorry...I didn't mean to get drawn into a crank thread.

I hope you're not suggesting Vick belongs at an Ivy League school. Wow. Let's give the kid a chance to graduate.

The Ivies do consider athletic talent in the "equation." That's why each sets...

Unlike basketball, volleyball, or tennis, they are not allowed to compete at the top NCAA level.

So why should they bother with the playoffs? They like to think of themselves as Division I.

But...but...but. That's not what Street & Smith said.

Casper? Try again.

I know Drake is non(athletic)scholarship, and your son may have gotten some financial help because of good grades.

Just curious. Did he turn down a school that was offering any sort of football...

I couldn't help but notice that at #25, Lasalle is misspelled as Lafalle or something. :confused:

For what it's worth, the academic progress rate (APR) for Davidson football ranks third in its league. The top two are the programs that have won the league championship 12 of 13 years.

If you are implying Davidson has admissions slots for football players, you are mistaken.

Colgate dumbs down admission standards for athletes, not Davidson.

Thanks. I suspected this was all a dark conspiracy.

I'm steering everyone I know toward McNeese.
