Part One: a few tidbits on Lehigh, Lafayette, Colgate and Holy Cross.

Tomorrow: Fordham, Bucknell, and Georgetown.

I'm not sure what you were able to pick up from Georgetown's spring season. There were no articles on the scrimmages that I was aware of and the roster was never published.

While it covers a whole range of topics on the Bison offseason, it also covers the specifics of their spring game as well. So much has happened, including the new president and new head coach, that it rapidly became evident that the Bison were worthy of their own posting.

Georgetown and Fordham coming up. (To answer DFW: the spring season is/was a bit of an enigma, but I did get some information.)

With such fanatic support from sports information it is a wonder to me that the staff can recruit anyone, especially with the high AI.

GU spends more on girl's lacrosse, at least per athlete, than on football methinks. Not a bad thing at all if they woud just give football the same attention

That is completely misleading. The budget for football ($1.54 million) is the most of any sport at Georgetown outside basketball on the EADA reports.

Operating expenses per athlete are very misleading. Women's golf has an averaging operating expense of $27,000 per athlete because only seven are on the team, for example and all their meets involve considerable travel. Georgetown's operating expenses on football are about $275,000 which is comparable to Holy Cross but less than other PL schools. (FWIW, women's lacrosse is $127,000...)

Took a while, DFW, but I finally got it done.

Enjoy. Hope I captured the mood around the spring season in football and all the craziness in terms of the future of the Big East.

Is that ****ed Presidents' meeting on merit aid still on the schedule?

[DFW HOYA]

Thanks for posting the article; a little more optimistic than I would be given the continuing lack of resources at Lee Reed's disposal right now.

One note, however: The sentence "Sophomore QB Isaiah Kempf is the "incumbent" and coach Kelly mentioned at least two quarterbacks which were "neck-in-neck" with him - presumably junior QB James Brady or senior QB James Darby, who were part of the mix last year." has two corrections: James Brady quit the team last year after week 3 and is now at UNH, while it's Scott Darby at #2. The highest ranked of the Georgetown QB's two years ago, Tucker Stafford, may have moved on to lacrosse but since the roster isn't posted, it's speculative.

And as for merit aid, I would not anticipate anything before the December meeting, but it's not like Georgetown will have much of a say in it, anyway.

Me? More optimistic than you, DFW? What a thought! :p

In any event, I made the correction. Thanks for pointing it out.
