Let's stop blaming the Ivies or Colgate. Especially not Colgate whose alums have supported our ECAC bid from the beginning. If the rules of engagement was both the men's and women's (and I'm sure we knew that up front) and we weren't willing to do that, then why the heck should the ECAC have taken us?

I can't fathom that we would not commit to upgrading the ladies to D1 and do it quickly. To me, that's a fairness issue as about half of the HC student body is female. This is a no-brainer.

But I don't buy into the facility size piece of the argument. And I certainly don't buy into the QU promises to build an arena. Our current arena, though small, is bigger than theirs RIGHT NOW and we did have the Centrum for the expected crush of fans we'd get from surrounding Worcester. Those are physical facts not promises. And, guess what? IMHO, if HC was consistently getting ECAC crowds of 3,000 or 4,000 that caused us to go to the Centrum, don't you think that HC would find it financially expedient to expand Hart at that point?

Notwithstanding some of the arguments on this board, we have a long relationship with HC and a lot in common with them from an institutional standpoint. What happend to HC was wrong. Going a step further, it seems clear that HC's administration did not give HC a fair chance to be admitted. I hope your alumni bring this to the attention of the College's Trustees and any other organization that coulad make a difference. In addition, HC needs a sports booster club! Screw the "Lift High the Cross" exclusivity. Having loyal alumni who support athletics with $$$ has never hurt any other team in the PL or Ivy from a financial standpoint.
