Announced today that Lehigh's President, Alice Gast, is leaving in July to become President of Imperial College in London. Gast was Lehigh's first woman president and was quite supportive of athletics; having been on the track and field team at Southern Cal while also valedictorian! There has been a fair amount of turnover in the past couple years at the PL schools (Colgate, Bucknell, Lafayette, and now Lehigh) presidencies and it is those officers who really control the direction of the league. With Lehigh's history, I suspect the BOT will bring on someone with the same vision regarding the importance of athletics in the academic mix, but one never knows who's always driving the engine. With a lot of new presidents, I wonder whether that will slow any move to expand the PL from a football perspective?
