Richmond moving to PL in 2025

Post by bonarae »

... as a football-only member in that league. Should Georgetown be expelled from the league and may drop the sport eventually due to their very hard-headedness towards football?

All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

Is the PL still at 60 schollies and no (non medical) redshirts allowed?
Proud deplorable Ultra MAGA fascist NAZI trash clinging to my guns and religion (and whatever else I’ve been labeled by Obama/Clinton/Biden/Harris).

Full FCS limit now enforced starting this year; non-medical redshirts now permitted from 2025 onwards.

Ok, it makes a little more sense, but UR still a geographic misfit. UR (and I believe W&M) did have a higher academic acceptance bar than the most of the CAA, but not sure if its as high as the PL’s leaguewide policy.

Unless W&M and VU joins the PL, UR would have been better off going SoCon

Sports aside, someone has to pay full price tuition. There are more folks in some of the northeastern states (PA, NJ, NY, Conn, etc) who are wealthy enough to pay close to full freight. Joining up with like-minded schools gives Richmond that cachet to pull in those types of students/families. Not sure they get the same bang for the buck in the SoCon.
