<p>Just a minute… I will have to draw a line under your juvenile reference to “■■■■■■”. Further, I have to wonder if you are ready to participate on this forum. What are you trying to achieve here? Your credibility is among the lowest of the low on account of your behavior.</p>
<p>Now about Colgate… Colgate is an elite liberal arts college with the feel of a university. Relatively small yet intimate and thereby unique in D1. And the quality of its programs, in the context of the Patriot League, the ECAC, its resources, its administration, its alumni support, and many other factors speak for themselves. No, Colgate is not “like” these large universities with their massive intercollegiate athletics budgets.</p>
<p>If you insist on making random quasi-comparisons without appreciating what’s special about Colgate, well, you won’t get a look into what makes us proud of our storied athletics. Fortunately, others get it… We select our student athletes from the strongest scholastic applicants who appreciate the extreme demands of D1. We have dedicated and experienced coaches, all of whom emphasize academics first and foremost, inculcating realistic goals which we manage for success on and off the field. How best to sum up what Colgate delivers in athletics to its community of parents, alumni, friends and current students? Colgate has the top graduation rate in D1 in the US! If and when you look at the NCAA’s list I am sure that you will agree that we are in elite company- as an elite.</p>
