Except it isn’t a top LAC.

Yes it is, stop the nonsense. But, it is not a top athletic program among the top SLACs. Weak D1 isn’t equivalent to top D3 for most sports.

Holy Cross and Colby yes

Williams and Bowdoin hard no

+1, Williams was so intense when we toured. Students seemed like they were coping with being in the middle of nowhere by swallowing themselves in books and never having fun.

need your kid's stats to give suggestions

Plus, you kid better be a stud on the ice if he wants to play hockey at NESCAC. He probably has to be in at least the NAHL or the BCHL.

There are about aren't that many D3 schools that have hockey and "smart" kids want to go there. NESCAC, Skidmore, Hobart, Lawrence and Lake Forest. I may have missed a few but not many.

Let me know the next time Williams opens it’s men’s basketball season at Providence College, BYU, and Utah.? Or when Williams women’s hoops plays BC and Duke. Or when Williams baseball team reaches an NCAA regional against UNC. Let us know when Amherst plays Army, Navy, Syracuse or Northwestern in football. Agree Holy Cross Olympic sports tennis, swimming are weak. It is a very good SLAC at the Colgate/Colby level with proximity to Boston and corporate alumni success level second to no other SLAC.

No way on Rochester.

It is a very good SLAC, an outstanding one actually. But all of the games that you mentioned are games where they get beat up on for a payday, they say nothing about the schools athletics. Half of the NESCAC would kill HC's volleyball team, it wouldn't even be close. Half the NESCAC can hang with them in men's and women's ice hockey, and they would get spanked in Lacrosse as well. The list goes on.

Thank you for the empty, useless source. We’ll take it to heart

This is a silly debate.

The 25 Schools Stocked With Jocks - Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/25-schools-stocked-jocks-71873

Great article. The NESCACs were full of athletes back then too. I also enjoyed the pre test optional test scores and acceptance rates mentioned. Here’s what Newsweek had to say about Cornell in 2010 (a simpler time):

To be counted among the 21 percent of accepted applicants, you'll need an average 33 on the ACT and 1500 on the SAT.
