Cornell has adopted a program where it matches the financial aid awards of the other Ivy League schools, Stanford, MIT, & Duke.  This program is for all students, not just athletes. So if a hockey recruit wants to attend Cornell but received a better financial aid package from Harvard, Cornell will match the Harvard package.  This will enable the recruit to play in front of the Lynah Faithful, not empty seats.

My understanding is slightly different. In that Stanford, MIT, Duke, Harvard, Princeton, Yale instituted a program that uses their large endowments to give much bigger financial assistance than previously - for all students. This obviously impacted athletics favorably. The other Ivies had to get approval from the Ivy League that it was OK to match these awards without it being considered athletic scholarships in any way.

Both Stanford and Duke provide athletic "scholarships," many of which are full ride.

The match is of need-based scholarships.  The Ivies offer only need-based scholarships

Yes, of course. Yale, Princeton, Harvard decided to give much more in need-based aid than they had before. The other Ivies were not doing that. The Ivy League allowed the other Ivy athletic programs to match their aid packages. I know there's more to it than this.

BC vs Harvard worth the watch on ESPN+.

[Iceberg]

Indeed. BC with 3 goals in 1:48. Very wide open game

Watching the Harvard info-mercial made my pine for East Hill Car Wash.

On NESN Harvard must have paid for the coverage. About 75% of non-game time spots are highlights from Harvard athletics over the past 30 years.

Bad night for the ECAC.

BC 4 / Harvard 2. Harvard is no longer undefeated.

I remember hearing the Harvard goalie left the last game with what looked like a groin injury. Any updates on him?  Did that impact the BC game?
