The fact that long established D1 schools who have had 60 schollies for ten years, are on a par with newcomers to D1, is a bit troubling. Perhaps we should move our program to the NEC and reduce travel, missed classes and maybe have a few visiting fans at games. It is an interesting thought when one also considers that moving to the NEC and ditching the self-defeating AI might also up our talent level in football. I suggested that somewhat tongue in cheek because it will never happen but would it matter much to our athletic program or on a larger scale, the perception of the college as a whole, if it were in the NEC instead of the PL?

There really should be an emergency meeting among all PL administrators at the end of the season (assuming the pattern holds, which it will, imo) - this really cannot continue. Sure the perception of the school would change with the NEC which I don't recommend but I would suggest the perception of the school is taking a hit now by remaining in the PL where so far no one has figured a way to get the league out of its malaise I strongly disagree with Phreek who seems to associate enrollment with football success - No, it's about the same schollie level, good coaches and facilities - we could compete in the CAA quickly

We'd probably be the only member of NEC without a continuing education division, probably one of the few without a nursing program and one of the few without graduate studies. We're more like the NESCAC but they don't want us and are in the wrong division. So we'd still be a riddle to most no matter where we land because there aren't 8-10 HC clones nearby for people to pigeon hole us with in their minds.
