It seemed to me like they were making an extra big push this season. I received an E-mail signed by the seniors on the men's hoops team right before the end of the campaign asking me to give

The HC equipment manager's twitter feed announced he had received a 110 page invoice from Adidas. New uni's for all?

It is very gratifying to see the great support for athletics, undoubtably due in part to supporters on this board. Things are changing !

Upgraded facilities, better quality scheduled opponents, renewed commitment to division I athletics, talk of an upgrade in hockey leagues and more money comes in to the athletic program? Phreek, this can't be....

Upgraded facilities, better quality scheduled opponents, renewed commitment to division I athletics, talk of an upgrade in hockey leagues and more money comes in to the athletic program? Phreek, this can't be.... Not to belittle the generosity of HC alums and other donors to the Athletic Fund, but $1.8 million is a level where HC is finally catching up with the Joneses. i.e., Colgate, et al. In 2014-15, Bucknell's athletics fund raised $2.4 million. Lehigh has nearly twice the U/G enrollment of HC, so HC is doing better than Lehigh in fund-raising in relative terms, though not absolute amounts. A breakdown of giving by sport at Lehigh is interesting, particularly student athlete participation (see M's hoops, unhappy campers?). lehighsports.com/sports/2015/2/17/March%20Mania%20Front.aspxAs for hockey, Colgate will open a new rink October 1, capacity 2,100. Cost $38 million. (Cost includes locker rooms for M/W lacrosse, M/W soccer, so the total cost is not entirely allocated to ice hockey.) Unlike Notre Dame, where matriculating students (and their parents) don't have to pay a cent toward underwriting the athletic program, 80-85 percent of the cost of athletics at HC is being borne by the students and their parents. Illustratively, if it costs HC $2.9 million more every year to play HE/ECAC, that roughly works out to $1,000 a student. Fortunately for athletics, HC's operating budget is developed by fiat, not by a democratic vote of those paying the bill.. |

Very nteresting analysis, particularly the "cost borne by students" element.......

The great majority of donations comes from male alums (undergraduates only), so I think a better comparison might be the number of living male alums. |
