State School? If you’re trying to imply that state schools are inherently better than private schools, I don’t follow the logic. Sure, there are come great state schools and some crappy private schools but if you put any credence in the USNWR college rankings, the Top 100 is dominated by private schools. In fact, NU and BU are tied (and going to OT?) at #40. UVM is #121. So, your point is?
Better history? Agree that UVM has a longer history by a century or so but better? Depends on how you measure it. I, for one, would never question UVM’s long and enduring history as one of the nation’s great party schools, which has no doubt contributed to notable contributions in the field of Animal Husbandry.
Better alumni? By what measure? More former NHLers (edge to UVM)? Or alumni in general (not just current or former pros) who put their money where their mouths are and aren’t bashful about pulling their checkbooks out to support the hockey program. I’d bet my mortgage that the NU program is on much sounder financial footing than is the case at UVM.
And there were three NCAA tournament wins in 1982. But I do concede the paucity of recent NCAA Tournament wins, for which I duly show shame.
