Lafayette to Vote "No" on Football Scholarships

[LC82]

<p>Lafayette is not “the smallest D1 college in the country”, nor is it even the smallest football playing D1 college. I can think of several that are smaller: Wofford (currently in the FCS playoffs), Davidson, Presbyterian, Wagner. There are probably others. </p>

<p>Also I believe that if the majority vote yes, Lafayette will go along. I can’t see them repeating the basketball scenario, where they were the last ones to implement them and suffered competitively because of it. </p>

<p>Weiss states this in the article:

If the vote passes, Weiss said “The Board has not yet said what its actions will be as a result of the vote. The College is very supportive of the Patriot League, but what specific actions we will take in light of this vote is not clear.”</p>

<p>“It’s unlikely that we’d simply carry on as we do and have the League all become scholarships if we aren’t doing them,” he said.
