Few would be surprised if William and Mary and Villanova join the PL as well.

We will see what happens.

As for Bucknell and Georgetown, what did they expect? With seven teams, PL football was always living on the edge. I'm not sure if anyone was ever serious about leaving the PL, but if anyone did the league would have to fold (if I understand the rules correctly). Adding teams (especially good fits like Richmond) ensures that the PL will continue for the long-term future.

"I'm not sure if anyone was ever serious about leaving the PL, but if anyone did the league would have to fold (if I understand the rules correctly)"

Yes and no.

The PL are at the minimum number of full league members (five) needed to field the sport. If one of Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lehigh, or Lafayette left, PL football would cease to be. If Fordham, Georgetown (or now, Richmond) left, it wouldn't affect that bylaw.

(No one is leaving.)

Agreed, I don't see any PL school leaving.
