Simply that if we are going to continue to schedule I-AA teams, why not beat down on Nova since we have some history playing them (instead of a team like Hofstra, which BC has 0 history with).Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511919115372205489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012441349157663851.post-7055485555672214412009-05-08T15:32:00.000-04:002009-05-08T15:32:00.000-04:00Confirming that the scholarships are exactly why w...Confirming that the scholarships are exactly why we can't play Holy Cross or Harvard, but can play UMAss, UNH, etc.<br /><br />BCMike - perfectly said. Even if the hours and total time can't change, there's still room for improvement related to overall tailgating rules.<br /><br />This is the time of year where I open up my checkbook and question what the heck I'm paying for.<br /><br />That list - eh. I don't think we need to go out of conference for a rivalry, I'll get much more excited for an ACC game. Give those relationships time to develop a rivalry (Maryland, VT, Clemson). I know Villanova ain't the answer.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012441349157663851.post-80577955094913936782009-05-08T13:14:00.000-04:002009-05-08T13:14:00.000-04:00Adam - I think you are right about HC, GTown and F...Adam - I think you are right about HC, GTown and Fordham (Patriot League doesn't offer football scholarships), but Nova plays in the Colonial Athletic Association for football, same as Northeastern. So I'd imagine that game would count the same towards bowl eligibility as a W over the N'eastern.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511919115372205489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012441349157663851.post-84275977963405370482009-05-08T13:02:00.000-04:002009-05-08T13:02:00.000-04:00why not renew with teams like Holy Cross, Georgeto...<I>why not renew with teams like Holy Cross, Georgetown, Villanova, or Fordham? </I>I didn't think those teams offered enough scholarships for a win against them to 'count'.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163146939118411944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012441349157663851.post-48728444970648677412009-05-08T09:47:00.000-04:002009-05-08T09:47:00.000-04:00The Le Moyne Dolphins?
