  1. Fordham had a good year in football - helped in large part by being a scholarship team in a non-scholarship league. It remains to be seen if there success will continue - but they definitely not been a football powerhouse in most recent years. Before this year, for example, their record over the previous five years was 22-33. As for fan support, over the past decade they have claimed an average "official" attendance of about 4000 - but that includes a number of no-show alums who buy season tickets but often don't go to games. (Full season tickets only cost $50.) Prior to this year, you would find very few Fordham alums or students who view football ahead of basketball - even with Fordham having endured decades of futility in hoops. Also prior to this year, their best "official" attendance for any football season over the past 30+ years was less than 4800. Football is a huge money loser for Fordham and virtually every FCS team, including everyone in the Patriot League. After calculating the cost of 60 scholarships, 10 coaches, huge travel expenses, etc, you then have to factor in the cost of another 60 women's scholarships.
