In reply to: matunuck 's message, "from USCHO.com - QU to ECAC hits "snag"?" on 10:30:54 07/22/04 Thu

I'm told from the most reliable sources on Mt. St. James that although it is not over yet, the mood is "not optimistic" but that "there is a view within the ECAC that there is a real likelihood of further expansion within a year or two."

From what I understand, this is the view of both the athletic department and president's office. The feeling is that Holy Cross "would not promise the impossible" and it will take a few more years and further investment to get the ladies to D1. More specifically, "It cannot be done overnight, and we will not pretend it can. Quinnipiac is already Div. 1 so they have an advantage there."

Based on these comments, I repeat my previous posts that I don't think we can try to put any blame on Colgate or our usual supporters in the Ivy League.

HC has already decided that the ladies program is going to D1 level but has concluded it cannot be done as quickly as the ECAC would like or expects. So, we are out of the running for now.

I agree. The outcome may be a convenient disappointment for HC's shadow AD's.

You're kidding, right??? The women's program's been around for five years, I believe. I a year or two more it can't be brought to Div I????? Give me a break. That's a load of bull.
