I couldn't agree more with all of your sentiments. It is a sad commentary that HC will not make every effort to upgrade an athletic program when doing so means association with such preeminent academic institutions. If this does not come to pass, I will be livid and will make my opinion known to McFarland in more ways than one. Their public relations message on this issue has been horrible because it has been nonexistent. Losing out to the likes of Quinnipiac, Niagara, Mercyhurst or Sacred Heart would arguably be the greatest disgrace in HC's athletic history. But let's be positive!
My sources tell me things similar to the info coming from Class of '83. Until last week, the odds were heavily against HC admission, but that HC modified its proposal, which pleased the ECAC, and now we stand 60-40 in favor with our competition coming from Quinnipiac. I didn't get any particular details as to how or why, but the worry is over the scholarship issue. I wonder what HC changed to dramatically shift the ECAC thinking? Does anyone have any ideas?
