...bunk. "I don't believe it's that big of a bonanza, frankly," says Smith College sports economist Andrew Zimbalist, who predicts an economic impact of about $15 million.

...mixture this weekend at the Princeton Invitational in New Jersey, although at times the recipe fell short.

Prior to that win, Lehigh had been largely ineffective on offense, scoring just 14 points against No. 21 Villanova in week two and seven points against Princeton the following week. Last weekend, however, the Mountain Hawks set season highs for points, yards, and first downs, a week after falling in dramatic fashion to Cornell, 25-24. The Lehigh offense is led by quarterback J.B. Clark, who had a career...
