Let's be fair, all of the schools you listed above are basically hockey schools with no division one basketball or football.

I repeat that I would have liked to see HC in the ECAC and we should do whatever we could to make this happen. However, hockey is not a major collegiate sport compared to basketball or football. It just isn't.

I think we should have been able to afford whatever the cost was to upgrade quickly to a division 1 hockey program for the ladies. I don't think we should have needed to immediately expand the Hart. Instead of a "if you build it, they will come" philosophy, I think the tact HC could (and maybe did) use was if the attendance increase warranted a larger facility, we would commit to upgrading.

Although obviously this is alrgely about hockey, this issue is essentially not going to the BE or not moving out of the PL or dropping scholarships, all over again. This incident is emblematic (sp?) of the administration's lack of committment to athletics. 30 or so years ago it was about Basketball, 20 or so years ago it was about football, recently its been about basketball and now (ironicly coinciding with hockey's success and rise in prominence) it is hockey. Pick your sport, pick your time frame, they'll get to you eventually.

You are absolutely correct- hockey, IMHO, was a litmus test and HC failed it (again).
