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.

There are surely multiple ways to approach this problem, though for what
you are describing, I would offer the following solution:

Leave your current architecture intact.
Yay! ;)

Install lyceum in a subfolder somewhere.
can lyceum be configured so it is at /Lyceum and its blogs are at
/athletics, /edsupport/asc, etc.? if so, how?

Have a PHP savvy individual integrate the code for your main page into
the lyceum portal.php
I think I'm sufficiently PHP savvy for that. :)

Redirect your main URL to the modified Lyceum portal.
But I'm not sure I understand why exactly. Is this to take advantage
of the various .htaccess-based redirects?
