Did HC have a formal AI for athletes prior to the PL? Nope. And a stubborn fact regarding HC and the Patriot League is that our academic reputation was higher before we joined the PL (and adopted an AI). On another front, the very idea that President Vincent Rougeau would accept kids (with or without an AI) that couldn't academically cut the mustard is (IMHO) farfetched. I've never liked the PL AI because it takes discretion away from the college presidents. |

Great now I'm down the rabbit hole...CAA football by 2027. **Delaware to FBS North Division: Maine, UNH, Rhody, HC, Albany, Stony Brook, Fordham South Division: Nova, Monmouth, Towson, W&M, Richmond, Hampton, Elon All right I'm done...Beat Merrimack 2022! While the PL is not my dream residence for HC in any sport, I'd rather leave things as they are than be wedded to the likes of Albany, Stony Brook, Towson and Hampton.. Rhody, Maine and Monmouth don't excite me much either. At least in the PL, we're with like institutions as far as size, history and academic standing.. Amen, brother. And that's exactly why HC will stay in the PL long term. |

The Patriot, then Colonial, League as first constituted with HC, Colgate, Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh, William & Mary and the academies was perfect. Unfortunately, W&M bailed, eventually resulting in the bastardization of the league with American, BU and especially Loyola.

The Colonial League also had Davidson for a short time at its start but they bailed as well.

Didn't the PL also have Towson briefly as a member? Ah, what might have been.  |

Incoming recruit Sam Slade (St. Peter’s Prep) placed 2nd in the 55M dash a couple of days ago in a competitive meet in the Armory. He ran a nifty 6.50. www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/meet/453390/results/m/1/55mI’d be surprised if any PL football recruits this cycle are quicker. For the track folks out there, Sam has a HS teammate who is (much) faster (6.35 PR). That kid popped an indoor 200 of 21.26 (!!) at the same meet. WOW. |
