Re: D1 tryouts
Good research. Your numbers illustrate what is known by many as the "HYP" or "Have and Have Not affect". The difference between the top 3 and the bottom 3 is almost an order of magnitude. That is SIGNIFICANT. While there is always more to the story than the numbers, the numbers do have an impact. While Brown has struggled the last few years, indications are that they are serious about righting the ship. The fact that there are "tryouts" and uneasiness amongst the upper class players is a reflection of this, or as a minimum it is a reflection that they are heading in a different direction. Time will tell.
Have a good day Eh !.
The double negative's with not and unusual, but like you said, you're far removed from an english major.
But I didn’t say differences in financial capabilities don’t exist, just meant they are similar in the way they give need based aid instead of scholarships. Endowment per student among the ivies are Princeton-$2.23 million, Yale-$2.00 million, Harvard-$1.90 million, Dartmouth- $625,748 Brown-$336,354, Cornell-$271,970. But even with that said, I doubt brown’s lower level of endowments is a reason their hockey program’s struggling. If hockey rankings matched the rankings of financial aid, than it might be a factor. Or if hockey ranking were similar between both the men’s and the women’s, seeing financial restrictions at a school would have to affect both to an extent. But nether is true. Dartmouth’s teams are both far better than their financial status would indicate. Cornell’s men’s and women’s team are at opposite ends of rankings. And Yale’s women’s team has only been in the top 3 once in the history of the program.
Ivies stopped being able to match other school’s financial packages in ’91. This happened to be almost the exact same time when both Brown and Dartmouth started to climb the standings, despite their lower endowments. The only trend that’s indisputable is that at each Ivy League school, there has basically been a constant rise in the standings, from each current coach’s first year up until last season. There’s just one exception, that being Brown in the past three years. So it’s hard to say coaching isn’t the problem even if all of the negative gossip about them is ignored. And Digit did apply for different jobs the past two years, so if people at Brown don’t want her there and she doesn’t want to be at brown, than why is she?
