FCS Crosses Fingers For Ivy In Playoffs

Two more colleges down yesterday, a final pair today as we wrap up the Great College Tour 2009. Because we're heading out in minutes to meet with a coach and then take a tour this will be brief. ...

Dave Coulson over at The Sports Network has a column that includes thoughts about the Ivy League and incoming executire director Robin Harris. Coulson writes:

Of all of the changes you could make to the FCS playoff structure, I can think of none that would have a more positive impact than having the Ivy League participate.

I, like many other FCS supporters, will keep my fingers crossed that Harris has postseason football on her agenda.

To see what followers of the FCS think about Harris, the Ivy League and the playoffs, spend a little time reading down a thread about the subject on the Any Given Saturday message board.

The Holy Cross spring prospectus is out. One sentence should give opponents reason for pause:

The Holy Cross offense will be led by senior quarterback Dominic Randolph, who has won two straight Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year awards and finished ninth in the voting for the Walter Payton Award last season.

Randolph, who received a medical redshirt and will be back as a fifth-year senior, is one of six starters and 17 of the the top 22 players back on the offensive side. Nine starters return on defense.
