At some point, does this league simply disband football and send everyone on their independent ways? It has become non-competitive.

HC, Fordham and Lafayette look to be of varying degrees decent this year...the rest of the league is a dumpstah fire right now.
Has Gilmore been fired yet?
I’d put $5 on fired tomorrow, announced Monday.
Fordham should leave the league. Georgetown should drop football.
Have at it!
If Lehigh fires Gilmore, he makes history as the first PL coach to be fired TWICE in mid season.
His hiring is a huge blot on Sterrett’s excellent career.
If he is fired, will Bucknell hire him?
I was tempted at bolding the whole thing since it's all guns blazing
But yeah, I hope Fordham's new administration (coming soon), decides to aim higher when it comes to football. As for Georgetown, I dunno... Despite the brand new and rather nice looking venue, it's almost the literal definition of too little too late. It's half the size as advertised and came in about 10 years after promised. They never singed up for scholarships, took a time out when everyone else in the league tried salvaging some sort of 2020 season and just have an overall perception of meeting every forward step with two back. I thought Georgetown was there in 2012. Thought they had a few moments since. None worked out. Bucknell looked like they had a bit of a moment last season too. Guess it's back to autopilot for them. At least Bucky will quietly (very quietly) field teams as long as Lehigh and Lafayette do the same. Even with the brand new little venue, not sure what Georgetown football's incentive is.

Nobody is going anywhere btw.....where to? The CAA, NEC or Pioneer???
Holy Cross should be CAA-level given its football history, facilities, committment to football etc. but the school/admin is very sanguine with its PL membahship overall in toto.
It is what it is....get bettah or quit bitching.
The return on investment is low, in terms of quality on the field.
The actual ROI of a sport financially is hard to measure but it’s not a winner. Some link alumni support in general to football. Anecdotally, that connection is falling. In countable dollars and cents we know it’s a loser at most schools.
I am content with FCS ball. I’m content with getting whacked annually by a BCS team though I do not care for those games. It’s probably good for the program.
I am disgusted with the OOC failures. Not every year can be good but the PL is outclassed and that is with scholarships.
There is only ONE football season. There are not two, one where you get smacked about and another where you play in the baby pool.
