Re: Richmond joins

Villanova makes too much sense academically, culturally, and geographically to not be a serious Patriot league candidate. They also can’t be happy with the CAA footballl membership direction.

Re: Richmond joins

I found this clip in a news conference addressing the Richmond addition... which included Patriot commissioner Heppel and UR coach Huesman...... "Heppel said the Patriot League does have fifth-year players. That supports Richmond's desire to redshirt mostly younger Spiders on a regular basis. “...

Re: Richmond joins

It would be nice to get official clarification on the red shirt issue. My understanding is that members without significant grad schools (Bucknell, Lafayette, Colgate, etc.) would be at a disadvantage if it were allowed. But there is no doubt the league is at a disadvantage when playing programs tha...

Re: Richmond joins

Shocked and delighted. They fit the profile almost perfectly. Academics (USNews #25 Liberal Arts), relatively small (3,500 undergrad), private, longtime traditional FBS program.
