<p>Are any other Patriot League football-playing schools (FCS-level, that is) currently offering athletic scholarships? Do any plan to? If Fordham, although a football-only associate member, plans to go that route will other schools likely join them? I personally would hope not, but can schools like HC and Colgate remain competitive at the (former) DI-AA level without athletic scholarships? If they have to drop Fordham as an associate member are there other schools out there that could be brought in that meet the Patriot League’s academic standards and which do not offer atheltic scholarships for football? How about William and Mary, Villanova or Davidson?</p>
