Thanks to those who have noticed typos and reported them. Everyone who reads and/or prints it out appreciates your help. Keep them coming. Try as we might, with all the stats and names it is nearly impossible to avoid errors.

Great job, CSN! xthumbsupx

One minor gripe, however...

"The Pioneer Football League is the only true non-scholarship conference in Division I."

xdohx

Why does this falsehood keep getting repeated? xconfusedx

The Pioneer Football League has the exact same financial aid structure as the Ivy League, with no athletic scholarships for football whatsoever.

Let me repeat...

The Pioneer Football League has the EXACT SAME financial aid structure as the Ivy League.

The proper statement is:

"The Pioneer Football League and the Ivy League are the only true non-scholarship football conferences in Division I."

PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH
1. Florida A&M University
2. South Carolina State University
3. Bethune-Cookman University
4. Norfolk State University
5. North Carolina A&T State University
6. Delaware State University
7. Hampton University
8. Morgan State
9. Winston-Salem State
10. Howard University

FAMU is by far the best team in the MEAC this year. If the team can
stay reasonably injury-free they have the potential to be able to win
the MEAC title and can go deep into the FCS playoffs. There are
road blocks in the way, however, with most of the leaders on offense
and defense returning for Junior and Senior years the team has no
excuse for failure within the conference. The bottom line is if FAMU
does what they are supposed to do they should get into the playoffs
and hopefully cause a stir.


I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Now I can absorb some more random knowledge....yay!

Yeah I don't get it either. Both leagues offer zero official athletic based aid. All need based financial aid and academic aid which is equally available in theory to the entire student body.

Patty V likes to tout the PFL as the only non scholarship option for schools looking to go that route, which is true. The Ivy league isn't adding any schools any time soon, so the PFL is the only option for schools looking to start or switch to a non scholasrship football program. xthumbsupx
