the same reason the expect the fball kids to show up for 4 yrs and never get to play for a NC that they might be good enough for but its ok for every other sports team to compete for them.

That's about luxury branding.  

Why would the Upper Class Twits of the Year send their precious Bronwyn and Margaux to 80k/year finishing school that lets footbaw players compete for the nc when they could go to UCLA or Michigan for half as much and get a better education?

But if you make a big show of not allowing athletic scholarships so the riff raff don't get in, and you artificially restrict the season so that Ag Ec and Hotel majors have more time to study Meats, well, now you're talking about a well-appointed Destination University.

Even if that were true, I'd guess that there are ways of taking fall classes, but putting off some requirements till the spring. If not and regardless he was going to finish his degree in the fall, it means he never had any intention of staying 4 years at CU.

"Never" is a long time. I think his lack of playing time on the #1 ranked team in the country influenced his decision to speed up graduation and go elsewhere.

The article quotes him in several places, but he says nothing about academics. It's all about winning and reaching the next level. Well, if despite the splinters in his butt from sitting on the bench at Cornell he still wants to try to reach the next level, I say good for him and wish him good luck.

OK, but:

• He finished in three years. That shows academic commitment.
• He was a 3rd round draft pick, he had the option to go to a factory all along.
• He's going to a team with just as high internal competitiveness and he may sit again.

Ah yes, the true meaning of the word "irony." Hahaha

But the article mentions they're rebuilding their blue line, with two incoming frosh in the rotation. It sounds as if they'll carry 6 blueliners. I suspect 3 years under Schafer's tutelage will give him an edge for playing time.

I also suspect if he were playing regularly here, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to graduate in three years.

It would be really interesting to hear from him a year from now, comparing both the hockey and academics. Hockeywise, it's somewhat of a lateral move; academically, it may be more like falling off a cliff.

And one in my senior year Comm Arts (Mass Media) elective, altho he was a junior at the time.  That particular hockey player wound up with a broadcasting career.

Yep.  I remember him as being pretty quiet.  Certainly not the person seen on various broadcasts.
