will she be "working hard" in another 10 to 15 years continuing to be rewarded for winning 35% of the field hockey contests...Coach Emmit Davis got the boot with a record that was tangibly better, in a sport that has been a difficult one for The Gate...gimme a break

Agreed if FH has zero scholarships, zero coach-supported admits, and minimized travel and recruiting costs. If FH is using scholarship dollars or coach-supported admits, the accountability must be higher.
Colgate reports spending over $700k on Field Hockey in 2013 (last year for which data are available).
American University 961185
Boston University 1198040
Bucknell University 603447
Colgate University 700127
College of the Holy Cross 641527
Georgetown University 331169
Lafayette College 746137
Lehigh University 507083

They have scholarships...so cross off that excuse. May not be a lot, but they have other means to get kids in.

I agree Steve. I have been in touch with the coach and team and they are trying their best, no doubt! Will continue to support them. Won't kick a group when they are down and giving it their all! Go Colgate FH!!!

My God people, look at our men's hockey program...we can't even get the scholarship $$$ to maximize the allowable 4.5 scholarships/year...I can't imagine DV is particularly happy about the "stretch" he has in being able to fully compete against 59 other DI hockey programs that have better recruiting tools than Colgate...this shouldn't be the British bureaucracy of the 1880s...we should believe in competition and results...there appears to be ZERO improvement in field hockey and frankly if I were running the show and could evade any challenge from Title IX, I'd drop the sport and focus resources on men's hockey....what a novel idea...for Christ's Sake, why are we building a $38 million hockey facility? Are we afraid of being successful in this sport? Will it upset our faculty, many of whom want to mimic Wesleyan (whose endowment is now less than ours and whose undergraduate enrollment is higher) or Ct College or Hamilton? Get a grip and strive for excellence...I think Colgate taught most of us the meaning of success and competition...I don't need a professor from Smith or an english professor from Colgate to tell me about the wonderful synergy involving academics and athletics...I know it from my experience from Colgate and my 40+ years of enjoying my associations with its alumni...
