Re: Brown @ SCSU Jan 2&3: Brown vs. Bored of Education (thank you Jase Weslosky)
Right. But the Ivies all have huge endowments (however, they aren't quite as huge these days) and can afford to fund most, if not all, student-athletes' educations purely with financial aid in various forms. So even though there aren't any official scholarships for athletes, we can still find ways to pay for them to attend the school. The problem is finding kids who meet the rigorous academic requirements and are also talented enough to play for a D-1 school (although, apparently we are the only one with that problem- Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth have all found success recently, and all finished in the top 6 of the ECAC standings last year).

I remember next to nothing about that game, other than the fact that the goalie let up 3 easy goals, while making several outstanding stops on chances that should have actually been goals (go figure). But obviously, he isn't enrolled in the school anymore, so that gives me absolutely no knowledge about the team whatsoever! Educate me!
