So who will replace Fordham if they leave PL? Albany?

The PL doesn't necessarily "need" a replacement. The automatic bid to the playoffs is valid with 6 teams. Still, a 6 team conference is pretty lame. I have no crystal ball, but I have conferred with Lawrence L. Logic and he says that the Patriot League will be slow and spotty in its approval of football scholarships, adopting a "do what you want and when you want" policy similar to the implementation of basketball scholarships. But the key is there will be football scholarships. With the scholarships in place the League will be in a position to pick up defectors from the unwieldy and apparently disintegrating Colonial Athletic Association. Based on comments I've heard within the past 6 months from the Leopard's mouth, Tavani apparently believes that Villanova is ready to jump.

Nova can stay in the CAA. I like winning or being in the hunt for PL championships Laughing

. Naturally if Nova would join the competitive imbalances would be nuetralized, but Nova would be very tough for the first few years until things get evened out. Lots of chatter regarding Northeastern as well-- they always seem to be a rumored new member.

Interesting....I guess we will have to endure 4 years of Nova beatdowns until our scholarships come to fruition. Kinda like the Holy Cross transition.

Andy Talley would sooner set himself on fire in the the middle of John E. DuPont Pavillion before he coaches a team in the PL. If Nova comes they come without Talley.

I calculate that Andy Talley is 64 years old. Since any transition of Villanova from the CAA to the PL is years away, Andy can save on the gasoline and simply collect his social security and Villanova pension. Let his successor worry about beating these low life Patriot Leaguers.

Carney, it sounds like you got your information from Jack Logic.

Why not an Independent, like Bryant, or Old Dominion?

From the sounds of it I think Old Dominion has plans of moving on up! If not FBS then certainly a bigger schollie league...at least that's what I have heard.

Bryant is in the NEC and Old Dominion the CAA. ODU just hasnt started play as a CAA football member yet, but they are in the CAA for all sports.

I doubt we would want a public institution with 24,000 students in the PL-- to far from the other schools. Bryant was an intriguing possibility, but that ship has sailed.
