this post is in response to Post # 36620 the system only takes a certain amount of posts per thread i guess.
That's some leap you make... But i will bite
Don't recall seeing anyone defending Dukes non conference schedule. Last years RPI was way off and trying to compare Stony Brooks schedule to pretty much any top program, well it is not comparable Stony Brook just does not play a very competitive schedule year in and year out. That is not by choice, they can only schedule so many non conference games. I don't really see a lot of posts pointing out how the "top ranked academic programs get all of the top players". Not a lot of talk about Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Cornell bringing in all of the top lacrosse players. The top lacrosse programs are a different story. The "Top lacrosse programs" absolutely do get the vast majority of the top lacrosse players. That fact is not really debatable, the year in and year out results prove that. |
