ECAC Inferiority

[Josh '99]

Yeesh, I enjoy games against Harvard as much as the next Cornell fan, but four scheduled per year would be a bit much, plus would we have anybody left healthy after four games against Brown?

Plus then you'd need to use some of those NC slots to schedule at least Clarkson and RPI and Colgate.  I don't really think it works as a separate conference.

We already have trouble filling the seven non-conference games with decent opponents (see non-conf games against Colgate, UAH).  Now you're going to add more non-confs?  Oh wait, we can just fill the slate with games against our old ECAC opponents!  So you end up with a schedule that looks sort of similar to what we had before except that instead of a few decent non-conf games we get more games against Brown and Dartmouth!  Yeah, that sounds appealing.

FYP :-}
