My arrogant self will confidently say below Fairfield.
I’m a Fairfield dad. I would say no on Trinity and Wesleyan. USCG is in a different classification. I’ve never been impressed by Connecticut College even though my niece goes there.

I think he's talking about Division 1 schools. Obviously Wesleyan's academics are much higher profile than any of those D1 schools.

Hartford should join the NEC. Soccer must also be a scholarship sport (at least to some extent).

How is a UHart type school even still around? I grew up in the hartford suburbs and have never heard of anyone even considering going there. Who is paying 50k/year to go to a school that has zero national or local recognition? Colleges like that seem like the biggest scam in the world
No offense to any UHart grads on here lol

The boards favorite troll actually had the scoop. Credit to him. Pretty damning email but nothing will come of it. Seems that they are full steam ahead

Just read the article. Sounds like it was a zoom class screen share gone wrong. I’m sorry but that’s just stupid you deserve to get caught if you are sending sketchy emails while you are sharing your screen.

Nothing may come of it. But, if the media truly was going to do their job, they would question the UHar president about this continuously until they got an answer. It’s great to get that email. Now, follow up and put him on the spot and make him answer.

Rule #1 when presenting from your computer and are hooked up to a network- Close email, close Skype or whatever, shutoff all notifications.

I once had a Match.com email popup during a Zoom job interview. I wasn't even using Match (I did a free trial many years ago). Quite embarrassing.

I use my computer to present quite often. Fortunately I'm usually offline.
Also, our computers do not have cameras which is nice.
When I am online for a presentation I'll have a coworker send me an email or message prior to the start to makele sure it doesn't pop up.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Another view on the UH situation (just scroll down past the subscription sell):

Here's why everybody should care about what's happening at Hartford
It's clear Hartford's administration doesn't want to be in D-I anymore. Whether they actually reclassify, and how they justify that decision, isn't just about the Hartford Hawks.

The problem at UHa is simple - it is over priced for the average student in the market and they are over subsidizing student-athletes to maintain D-I teams
Hartford has a sticker price of about $60k (tuition/fees/room & board) - but no one pays that. Why would anyone?
Most students pay closer to $30k a year (53% discount), while student-athletes pay much, much less - closer to $5k (94% discount).
Hartford already has a 75% acceptance rate, so they can't do anything academically to grow enrollment. Moving to a model where those 325 students athletes pay an extra $25k a year will help the books (about $8M a year in new revenue). But they aren't very competitive now in America East now, so its a hard pill to ask the student-athletes to pay more to attend and get better athletes.

Gallagher might be able to get another D1 job.
