    Union College, our old buddies from DIII and NESCAC.

    Do we wish them well, or do they still just not get it?

          Seven or eight years ago when Union was struggling, there was a ton of chatter on this board predicting that Union was going to return to D3. Great to see non-scholarship schools knock off the 'better' conferences.

            Union went 11-16-1 versus Plattsburgh before ducking them for the past 24 seasons. Maybe their fancy-pants national championship will give them the courage to return to Stafford.

              That Union team would wipe the floor with the best of the best in D-III (well, maybe not St. Norbert ). Their speed, skating, passing and all-around team play was so impressive. I saw them live in Bridgeport and they quickly won me over as a fan.

                  They do have to play by DIII financial aid rules. The only DIII schools that can use DI financial aid rules are the ones that were "grandfathered" in because they already gave scholarships when the NCAA changed the rules for "play up" teams. I believe that list includes RPI, SLU, Clarkson, and Colorado College.

                    By "the same rules" doesn't negate the strong use of financial aid as a tool - only that it can't be disproportionately targeted at athletes.

                      And not targeted at any particular sport, either as is the case for any DIII athletic program. Certainly any DIII school with a strong endowment that can afford to provide good FA packages has an advantage

                          I guess all the rumors about Union wanting to return to NESCAC can go away.

                            Technically, Union could have been grandfathered in. They CHOSE not to give out athletic scholarships, just like the Ivy League schools, and like you said, since that self inposed policy was in affect when the grandfathering clause took affect, they now must follow DIII rules.

                              Every single college hockey championship this year was won by D3 schools.

                              Take that you pompous Big 10-like massive institutions.
