They certainly seem excited about a Yale-Quinnipiac rivalry in New Haven. I wonder if Yale is as excited as the Quinnipiac folks are? Maybe HC should resume our basketball rivalry with Assumption and thrill the Worcester folks?

This is still rumor stacked up on top of rumors and I, for one, am starting to get sick of all this.

IF, (a BIG, "if"), HC isn't willing to commit to a ladies D1 team in hockey and give them equal footing with the men, then we probably don't deserve to be in the ECAC. But that would seem very inconsistent with my impression of the direction of HC athletics (not just title IX by the letter, but the spirit as well).

But if the ECAC equates QU and HC, not just from the academic angle but discounts HC's the long term rivalries with the other ECAC schools in other sports and is willing to assume that QU will build an arena that they've been planning on for 5 years and are now committed to "start cutting some trees in September" but still have to get permits, then I'm pretty sick of the ECAC too.

You guys wake me up when the dust settles and there is something factual to report.

Penny wise, pound foolish!!! In its own way, this decision by HC re hockey is similar to the snubbing of the Big East
invitations in the late '70s and early '80s. The shift in leagues (perhaps with games at the Centrum) quite likely could create the incremental revenue necessary to support the increased aid to both the male and female pucksters. Is there anyone with a whit of business acumen in the admin
mking these decisions?
