    In response to penn99

Fran was very cautious when asked about scholarships after the Bucknell game. I had heard he had sort of gone public on radio or TV somewhere (heard radio and Comcast pre-Penn game) about needing scholarships, so I asked him about them.

His response was basically that he didn't know if scholarships would make a difference because he has never had scholarships. Also said he just needs to be a better coach, which I think most would agree is probably not the problem in Easton.

As an aside, Corky Blake of the Express-Times mentioned in his preview of the Lehigh-Lafayette game ( http://www.pennlive.com/sports/expresstimes/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1137837848268160.xml&coll=2 ) that a working group formed by the president to study athletics had not yet completed its report. Blake said that makes it unlikely the trustees at Lafayette will consider scholarships when they meet this week.
