Ivy to PL is a step or two down the RPI ladder - most kids can move up from the Ivy

The Big East will be dominated by UConn again next season and even more than previously expected with the news that Nova guard Lucy Olsen is taking a grad year at Iowa - Olsen was the 3rd ranked scorer in the country in 23-24 - major blow to Nova

GU’s basketball budget is ever expanding now with a very robust NIL program- rumor is that pg transfer from Harvard, Mack is getting a very high 6 figure deal.

11-1 in the 6th - I think we’ve basically conceded this game as simply do not have the capable pitchers available- I hope they have the 10 run rule in effect that would end it on 7 innings

First place Army at Fitton this evening for 5 pm start - With our lack of pitching depth and a big series this weekend at Lafayette, I doubt the coach will use any of our weekend starters Believe Army has a deeper pitching staff but we'll see how this game shakes out

Spent his frosh year at BU. I'm sure Coach Riga did his due diligence through his colleagues in the biz.

Interesting, Foley - thanks - and she was drafted by Connecticut (not NY)

I am intrigued to hear of the interest that BPC is getting for her grad year - what level do you think she will be suited for ? I was very surprised to see Columbia's Abby Hsu be drafted (late in 3rd round) by the NY Liberty - I had assumed she would have been in the portal for her 5th year (just like the other Ivy POY Kaitlin Chen from Princeton is We know WNBA rosters are short (11 players) and there's never room for 3rd rounders (just ask Lauren Manis)

Our facility is very deficient- no bathrooms for fans (unless you to sprint to the Luth) - no locker room for either team to huddle at the half (I don’t believe the teams head to the Luth). How this remains the case is hard to imagine

Our W over Lehigh on Saturday broke a 9 year losing streak to them. We have too many of these one-sided records against PL rivals so it’s nice to see this one stemmed

An example of where coaching salaries are going when moving up from the mid-major level: Monmouth's Cindy Boggess after 3 years in the CAA took the Toledo job last week and signed a 5 year / $2.2 million contract.

I believe today (Sunday) was the 'accepted students visit day' - any posters know of any relatives/friends who have kids who have been accepted into the class of '28 ? Would be interested in hearing about what other schools they are considering and what they thought of the presentation today

Softball played respectably today going all 7 innings in 4-0 loss to BU. We managed only 8 hits over the three game series, and we struck out 23 times. BU really doesn’t belong in the PL for softball

ditto for M&W tennis, volleyball and softball - these programs have not had winning seasons in more than 20 years I don't think such performance levels should be ignored - we could drop one (or more) of these programs and re-distribute Title IX funds to improve some of the remaining sports

I think it’s fair to see how this change is recvd after we see how our fans enjoy the game from the east stands - I personally enjoy the view from there and also get a lot more sun on a typical Oct/Nov afternoon - and I am sure the tv ‘look’ will be appreciated by our fans watching on espn

For those of you who are no so fond of BC you’ll be happy to know that top-seeded (no.1 nationally ranked ) Eagles lost to Denver tonight 2-0 in the final
