Again, I am not an alum but I have supported the HC BB program for almost 30 yrs.

As an outsider and living in the Worcester area, I get to see alot of what is and isn't going on at HC. The net result is mediocre.

I know most of you on this board are true purple die hard alums that would probably support HC if they went D3 in FB and continued in the PL for BB, but the true facts are you are very few in #'s. I know alot of HC alums in the 25-40 age group who live in this area who I begged to come to some BB games with me over the years and they refuse. They say the PL is second rate and they don't wish to support it. I've been a season ticket holder for BB for 10 yrs, and the student support is very weak. The only exception was the last 4 home games of 2003.

HC needs to make a seriously commitment in their programs.
They need some kind of major announcement to shake up some interest. Hockey to ECAC? That will gain some, FB to win some games? Who knows, w/o scholarships and 10+ yrs of losing, most fans have checked out, myself included. BB to a true mid-major?? This would be the ticket!! A move to a conference like the A10 would show fans that HC is serious about BB an isn't going to try to keep pushing that they almost beat Kentucky 4 yrs ago! People don't want to hear how you almost made it, they want to see what are you doing to build and improve on it. HC has not done that.

When an administration shows and says it's happy where it is and that place is no where near where most alums or fans want, you have the situation that you are facing at HC.
