>Really??

Yes, really. Has been that way for some time. And still a better deal than the other athletes get, hockey, hoop, lax and golf(!) aren't allowed to join at all (not sure on the other sports, those are the ones where I've discussed with the coaches).

Coaches universally point to the amount of time playing a D1 sport takes up, combined with schoolwork they don't want their kids to have another distraction that takes them away from their focus on academics & athletics. Fair enough, but this insulates the athletes from the rest of the student body which then has no personal stake in our team's games.

I was talking to a sophomore in the parking lot before the football game Saturday, his plan was to leave the tailgate & go party with his friends... saving his football related fandom for the Giants on Sunday. Since he knows the Giants players about as well as the Colgate ones, he's choosing to watch the higher level. Hard to blame him.
