However, that's just my impresssion and I could be wrong. Still, I doubt Fordham would have objected if Columbia said it wanted out, which I assume did not happen.

Was this when they went scholarship? For how many years are we committed to play them ? Games at Rose Hill are just awful, with no visiting stands. At least we get them at home this year.oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-44411336995082388882012-08-20T10:23:00.968-07:002012-08-20T10:23:00.968-07:00I totally agree with you that it makes no sense to...I totally agree with you that it makes no sense to foster a rivalry with Fordham for numerous reasons including of course, the disparity between the two school's admission standards. The biggest concern, of course, is that having committed to going big-time in football, Fordham will accept anyone who can help the President and the Athletic Directors save their jobs. I just don't see the benefit of playing a Fordham type football program early in the season. Not dropping Fordham from the schedule last year when we had the opportunity to do wo was a mistake.

This is only the start. I know that I am in the minority here, but I am not and have never been enamored of the concept that we should foster a rivalry with Fordham. I would feel differently about Georgetown, which is more of a natural rival in football because of its adherence to high academic standards.oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-22693760271909638172012-08-20T07:54:05.871-07:002012-08-20T07:54:05.871-07:00did the F coach tell the new QB where to find the ...did the F coach tell the new QB where to find the admissions office, or is that just an old fashioned formality?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
