Get real, GR...didn't see you complaining when the team went to Italy which led to a solid season afterward. There's something to be said for an experience like this. My guess is the players do not get the opportunity to study abroad due to their sport and I see nothing wrong with it. If we had won the tourney, everyone would be singing the praises of the coaches, administration, and city of Belfast. Learn to appreciate others' "disguised" perspectives like I do to yours when nobody else does!

Am bummed Finn is only a Junior; hope Point impresses from the start.

Colgate's performance after Italy had nothing to do with the trip.

Why not stop the digging and find a new thread. Where you can add value.

Go 'gate!

I am trying to bring some perspective to the cost of athletics at Colgate and the cost of an education at Colgate. Please remember that the cost of athletics is shared by all of the students at the school and not just by those who participate in a sport. I support Colgate athletics in attendance and with dollars. I would like to see the dollars go where they will have the most benefit - scholarships for one.

Per usual, GR, you're starting to contradict yourself....or something like that, in your case.

Over $25 million in donations has been raised for the new hockey facility, and it's still ongoing. Over $200k was raised by the organizers of the Belfast tournament from private sources to cover the travel expenses of the participating teams. You seem to be confusing what is being spent with who is spending it.
