Hey Jeff,

Not to put a feather in BU's cap, but they also sponsor 4 sports that the AE doesn't sponsor (M/W Hockey [ok, so their women's hockey team is in the neophyte stage], and M/W crew).

NU also has the same 5 sports as Maine that the AE doesn't compete in, so what's your excuse?

The cost of having both men's and women's crew is ridiculous, believe it or not. Someone told me the costs of crew, and I nearly died.

I'm sure BU is the same as NU, but most of the major donors to the athletic department at NU are former rowers, and in fact NU Men's crew just announced a program to try and endow a complete boat of rowers plus the coaching position.

No excuses NU Hoop Fan.....Maine continues to be strong in womens hoop, baseball and field hockey......weak in sports they have always been weak in. Personally, I like the way Maine puts more resources into the "glamour" sports.
