First off, my response was very tounge in cheek. My tone was missed, I apologize. The Ivy's all have great athletic programs.

That said, Princeton hockey has not been a great program as of late. Basketball is much more of a priority. I don't think they put as much of an athletic priority on their hockey as they do their basketball, lacrosse or football.

Therein lies my logic - they voted for you for the ECAC because they care more about the academic profile of the ECAC than the athletic competitiveness. Just my tainted opinion formed from these unwarranted HC backlashings.

As for the other "yes" votes, Harvard seems obvious as the in state rival (Yale did the same in voting for Q), Dartmouth... who knows? I wasn't there. RPI? Maybe they would prefer a nonscholarship school in the ECAC and Q is more of a threat to them? Speculation all indeed.

But again, the point I'm making is don't fault Colgate for trying to maintain or increase the athletic competitiveness of the ECAC when that's all HC would do if the shoe was on the other foot for basketball. If HC chose to be competitive, I have no doubt they'd be in the ECAC.
