if the lyceum webroot is /lyceum then any blogs would be at 
/lyceum/blogname though you could always set an alias in the server 
configuration to forward /athletics to /lyceum/athletics and such

That solution was assuming you would integrate your main page with the 
lyceum portal and thus make it your new 'main page' - however you could 
also go the other way and integrate some of the portal - or just link to 
it - in your current main page.
