A most interesting ranking list. It puts HC at 178 (Army at 179). Neither has beaten a team in the top 100. That is still better than Navy (rank of 148) who has not even scheduled a team ranked in the top 100.

Interesting vote. I endorse the no vote. WGBH-FM, an NPR station in Boston just did a report on Nichols College, our neighbor in Dudley that had a magical run in the NCAA D-3 Basketball Tournament. I was surprised they have financial sustainability issues since as a business college they tout all their CEO alums. But they do. With only 1330 undergrads they, like Holy Cross, endeavor to offer a good slate of M+F sports. They are a different division and an apples to oranges comparison with HC in many ways except for a timely quote by a Nichols professor: "In higher ed, we are great at addition but terrible at subtraction." I think the NCAA is wise to keep the playing field as level as possible with regulations. It is more important to keep as many of the 299 D-1 baseball programs active than it is to increase paid positions. |

Allowing schools to have a 3rd assistant does what exactly? Makes teams better? By default that makes the players better? Isn't that the point of college athletics, especially what's generally a non-revenue generating sport. If a school can't afford a 3rd assistant and chooses not to pay one? That's their choice, but the addition of a $50k assistant would have a positive effect on every player that gets to play for one. |
