There are 3 or 4 ECAC schools that do give athletic scholarships. RPI
is one of them. I would consider this to be more a difference between
the Ivies (basically) and everyone else than between the ECAC and HE.
Also, within the last couple of years, there was a PSA who was offered
a full scholarship to Merrimack. He turned it down to walk on at
another school - a private school that costs about $90-100,000 for 4
years. So while there may be advantages to being able to offer an
athletic scholarship, it is not a magic wand that enables you to
attract anyone you want. (Now, a new rink... :-))
