In response to a long-dead thread that was touched on slightly in the whole Union debate: (In other words, by the time I got the info last time the thread had died. "There's no bureaucracy in small schools..." Uh-huh.) According to Assistant SID Jeff Fanter, Colgate does not give any sort of athletic-based financial aid. No scholarships, no preferences, nothing. I knew this was the policy in all sports except hockey, but Fanter confirmed that hockey works under the same restrictions. So, basically, we're in the same boat as Union and the Ivies. ----------- James Clippinger [log in to unmask] HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
