Re: $ money money money $
So how does UW Superior get away with offering in state tuition to Canadian hockey players? That is financial aid. If I were a Wisconsin taxpayer I would not be happy subsidizing 16 Canadian players that appear on the current roster,and, I don't get me started on the 5 Minnesota players who also receive the same financial aid. I guess it is just taking advantage of the system.

The key to this scholarship is that it does not only fund the hockey players, but also funds other international students. If it were simply funding the hockey players then it would be considered the de-facto scholarship (See Buff State and Genny). Likewise, Oswego also offers a Residential Scholarship that is offered only to students that are out-of-state students that are residents of the USA. This scholarship I believe is roughly $8,000 and covers the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition.
This is not 'taking advantage of the system', it is simply utilizing the system that is in place. Whether or not hockey was a major sport at Oswego, the institution would still be offereing these scholarships (Just as many other institutions do). If these schools were 'taking advantage of the system', then Oswego would be a power house in many other sports and not just hockey.
Do I believe some schools give better FA packages than other schools? Sure. These schools generally give better FA packages to all attending and not simply just to a specific group of students, i.e. hockey players.
If I were a taxpayer in New York, I would certainly be quite happy subsidizing out-of-state students in hopes that more people would be attracted to the area, thus boosting population and economy. Unfortunately (or fortunate due to the weather) for me, the economy in New York is quite poor at the time and a move down South was necessary to find a job after finishing a Master's degree! Anything that attracts more people to my area, I am all for.Oswego'08, '10
