Meanwhile Fordham is almost at three quarters of a million. That's surprising.

Fordham is a very good academic school in NYC. It’s not that surprising. Richmond, Davidson, Fordham, and GW are all excellent schools that any so-called mid-major conference would want. Fordham isn’t going anywhere. A school like La Salle is a different story.

But it's still a relative no name. I didn't know anything about it being an academic school until recently. Otherwise, I only knew of it as a total basketball lightweight in the A-10. They should be in the NEC, MAAC or Patriot so they can be competitive.
