Im sick of the BTHC fearmongering

Re: Im sick of the BTHC fearmongering

Facts:

Quinnipiac University is not a member of the Ivy League.
Quinnipiac University came into being and was officially accredited on July 1, 2000.
Quinnipiac has a relatively small enrollment: 1,480 enrolled in the class of 2012, 1,640 enrolled in the class of 2013.
Quinnipiac's men's hockey team competes in the ECAC.
Quinnipiac does not have a large number of alumni.
Quinnipiac does not have a particularly large alumni endowment.

Any claim that Quinnipiac athletes enjoy the monetary benefits of the support of generation after generation of hordes of wealthy alumni is ****ed foolishness. Proof is also lacking that 18 members of the Quinnipiac Men's Hockey Team have full athletic scholarships and 10 more have full academic scholarships, team photographs notwithstanding.
Your grudging admission that Harvard probably has more athletes with academic scholarships than the average university in no way supports your contention that this gives the Harvard hockey program an advantage over hockey programs in the CCHA or HE or the WCHA. Higher standards for admission and achievement prevent Harvard and similar academically rigorous schools from recruiting talented, wanna-be professional young hockey players who don't wanna-be bothered with studying or earning a degree. You may have noticed the rapid growth in the number of these one-and-done
non-student athletes in several hockey programs.
And that's the way it is, seriously.

How many more than 18 hockey players were on Quinnipiac's or Colgate's or any other ECAC team's roster last year,

Fact: I stated that there were at least 28 and provided proof of that.
Fact: You now decide that Quinni doesn't count because they aren't ivy
Fact: You build so many straw men that if you aren't already you should buy yourself a tractor and take up farming.

Zero academic scholarships is by definition not greater than any other university; therefore, it cannot be greater than the average.

An athlete that gets it's schooling paid for by Harvard, who would not get their schooling paid for at other schools unless they had an athletic scholarship, and would not have been admitted to Harvard unless they were an athlete, is really on an athletic scholarship from any normal persons view.
