Where was Colgate? I'm pretty sure we were one of your big supporters. You've had nothing but support and good words from Colgate fans here. I imagine the decision makers from Colgate were pulling for you as well.

It sounds like in the end your institution was not willing to upgrade their women's program to the D-I level the ECAC wanted. Your men's program sounds like it was a no brainer, but apparently your (lack of a) women's program brought you down. Pointing figures at Colgate, or any Ivy for that matter, is misdirected anger at best.

Face it, the deal was for both men and women. You only wanted to pony up for the men. The ECAC had an athletically competitive school willing to pony up for both. Obviously academics are a secondary concern for an athletic league. What decision would you have made in a reversed situation?

Brooks is to H.C.Athletics what Marvin Miller is to Major League Baseball,namely a Pariah who caused irreperable damage.His legacy should read as such and he should be ostracized forever.His "haughtiness"should be made to realize the gavity of his tyrannical decisions,and how many people were impacted in a negative fashion.
