If proposal three is actually adopted, it will only be a matter of time I think before it gets expanded to 32 teams. All those schools who realize they don't have any shot at a bowl game will press for other opportunities. I won't even touch the subject of a fairer system for determining bowl bids. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

If the 1-AA designation is in fact eliminated, it would create one large pool of 1-A programs and "real" 1-A programs, but the muddying of the two present categories into one I believe would help Fordham Football make the move gradually up to a real 1-A level, should we ever want to do that. I'm not advocating that move, just saying the change would make that journey more easily navigable. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 27, 2005 12:45:39

I'll advocate the move. Army has gone independent and has scheduled Wake Forest, Rice, Georgia Tech, Baylor, Iowa State, Texas AM&N, and Duke. Army is negotiating with Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and USC. If Army can return to big time, so can Fordham. Shea Stadium is the perfect venue-plenty of parking and at the end of the A Train. I think Fordham is sitting on a potential gold mine and does not realize it. (NT) -- The Fish, Wed April 27, 2005 22:12:24
