It's not a lack of geographic knowledge it's know as exaggeration humor. Even when it lacks all that pesky humor part. For anybody over there to say that it is a haul for them to get to Chatty is a freakin' joke to us out here. That's the root of his statement based on past experience. Welcome to the board btw.

BSC, WAC, PCSC, whatever outfit we're in for crew, and possibly even the MPSF (not sure about that one).
Sac State is in those other conferences mainly because the BSC doesn't sponsor them.

-The Patriot League has an auto bid. The winner of the conference will be in the playoffs.
-Fordham is not in the Patriot League.
-If Fordham has 7 D1 wins, the selection committee could select Fordham as an at-large bid for the playoffs.
-IMO, it will take at least 9 D1 wins for Fordham to get an at-large bid

Fordham is still technically in the Patriot League, but the conference has declared them ineligible for the championship and its autobid.

With an OOC schedule of Bryant, Rhode Island, Columbia, Yale, and D-II Assumption, Fordham may need to go 10-1 to get an at-large.
