Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 791468, member: 127"] I doubt hockey would be a big revenue maker. Plus hockey is a much more expensive sport to support. In addition 18 hockey scholarships are the limit for D1 hockey teams vs 11.7 for baseball. Because of the expense there are no longer any more D2 hockey teams and D3 don't offer scholarships. We'd be competing with many non-ACC teams with better and much longer hockey traditions than our own including some local ones like Cornell, Colgate etc,. If I was a baseball player I'd think twice about playing in the ACC over Big East teams, AAC teams and even Rutgers etc. There are no D1 baseball schools in Central NY and I think we have the opportunity to be more attractive than current teams like St John's, Siena, Canisius, Niagara, Seton Hall, Rutgers etc. Hey I could be all wet but I'd like to think baseball would fit us much better now that we are in the ACC too where we are the only school not to have a baseball program.
