You are obviously not married yet Dane96....

Dane96

Well, if you put it that way...I am currently sans relationship because you are 100% correct.

Can't wait to make it to Hartford to catch up with you this season; back is healed well enough to sustain a drive down.

You may want to take another look at the Quinnipiac comment. QU was accepted to the ECAC Hockey League (w/six Ivies) over Holy Cross, Niagara, Sacred Heart and others

NU Hoop Fan

Why would I want to re-visit the comment?

Quinnipiac lets a lot of kids in, and from a hockey perspective, they offered the ECACHL more than those other programs did.

So what? QU had a better facility (TD Bank Center) and offers fully scholly WOMEN's hockey team as well

Holy Cross was the ECAC's first choice, but their ucommitted plans to renovate their rink and, most importantly, their lack of $$ to upgrade their women's team cost them the invite.

Sure, QU may have a better academic profile than SHU and Niagara, but they are not on par with any of their ECAC conference mates. They are only in that league because of their impressive facilities and financial commitment to the sport - they didn't get in based on their academics.

QU academics are much better than many think and the ECAC took a very serious look at this in '04 during the selection for a member to replace UVM. Your comments about facilities and commitment are excellent reason why many are mentioning QU for AE.

Fred.

They are not...and many people here know Quinnipiac intimately.

You are not going to change minds here.

QU's tuition/room and board is now over $50K per year, so I'm not surprised. Isn't that still a little lower than BU and Northeastern, however?

NU Hoop Fan

What's your point?

$50K to go to college in Hamden, Connecticut?

NU and BU actually have admissions standards.

NU eliminated the pulse requirement when we jacked up our standards.

High SAT's? International Student? Daddy makes money? - you're in.

Breathing is optional.

Suffolk undergrad, where I went to law and is a great regional law school, is about 50k. Total waste of money. Frankly, 50k anywhere not named Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc...is a waste in my opinion. Chances are you are going to grad school...and that's a shit load of debt to carry.

Yep, I'm in total agreement with this. My view of the education world is pretty skewed because of the industry I work in and I've been to business school and through the big recruiting game.

That's why if I were a mid-major D1 athlete today, knowing what I know now ....use basketball to go to the best academic school possible, get the best education on paper as possible, go where the best companies recruit, go where the alumni has the strongest connections because those are the people that will be giving you career opportunities.

You don't transfer to places like Towson...or St. Anselm..or some of the other places we see..which in doing so literally eliminates thousands of future potential opportunities- but teenagers don't know this stuff and many don't want to look at 8-10 years down the road.
