I think the simple explanation is that an athlete cannot have an athletic
scholarship and play a Division 3 sport. At various schools such as Clarkson
and RPI (the ones I'm most familiar with), their single D-1 sport and its
associated athletic scholarships, creates such a situation.
Union is not a good example since none of their hockey players have athletic
scholarships. If they have scholarships, they are either academic or
need-based aid.
Merrimack is not a good example since Division 2 allows scholarships. My
guess, though, is that hockey scholarships add to the count in whatever
sport the hockey players opt to do outside of hockey. Sort of a double
bookkeeping.
And by the way, Tony and others, yes, Syracuse has had quite a tradition
of football playing lacrosse All-Americans, hasn't it? I also think it's
kind of neat that they encouraged that, and that they took the trouble to
play some of the smaller schools.
