Top 10 Programs that should be competitive?
Why are these programs rarely (or never) competitive?
Binghamton
Brown
Cal
Cornell
Duke
Georgetown
Harvard
Vanderbilt
Virginia Tech
Yale
All have a lot to offer, why are they not strong programs?
Coaching?
Talent?
Location?
Lack of funding?
Limited help with admissions?
Facilities?
A combination of multiple factors?
All should be better. What is the problem?
The one that stands out most is Georgetown. What happened to that program?
Honestly most of the schools on that list I see no reason why they should necessarily be more competitive. Georgetown and Duke are two that should be though.
Binghamton - - If Stony Brook can do it why can't Binghamton?
Brown -- Penn and Princeton have been competitive for years why not other Ivy's?
Cal -- ??
Cornell -- See Brown comments above... Cornell Men are a Top Program why not the Women??
Duke -- Can only be one reason...
Georgetown -- See Duke comments...
Harvard -- See Brown comments... Men of Harvard have not gotten over the hump either. (not like Cornell, Penn, Princeton, Yale)
Vanderbilt -- Great Academics, Warm weather, SEC Athletics... should be more competitive. Are they fully funded?
Va Tech -- Another program/University with a lot to offer... should be more competitive.
Yale -- See Cornell, Brown and Harvard comments... Yale men have done it...
Throw in Columbia as well. Not saying they should win a national championship any time soon but they should be better.
Really no excuse for these teams to not be competitive.
