Since only 1 other freshman made their top 3 teams, I think he has a reasonable chance of ROTY.

God bless the Hotel school.

And from an RPI alum, God bless the Lally School of Management.

Out of 13 new players for next season including a transfer who showed up last season to sit out and two more transfers who won't be eligible until the second semester, 11 are in the online directory as of today and all are Business and Management majors. All five incoming women's players are also Business and Management majors.

I often think that the NCAA should require that the distribution of majors on a team should reflect the general student body, just like grades are supposed to, but it will never happen.

I can see the SEC mandating that 95% of all its graduates must major in Physical Education.

BU's disproportionate major of choice among the hockey team is the College of General Studies, or CGS, a holdall intended for freshmen and sophomores still determining life's path and not wishing to be frightened by undue academic rigor. Also known as Crayons, Glue, Scissors.

I'm afraid I must defend CGS, as my son went there. It's true that BU channels students to CGS who are in the lower part of BU's admission distribution. As it was explained to us, these are students who have shown they can do well at BU but who need more structure acclimating to college. Unlike other colleges, like Arts & Sciences, CGS has a very structured curriculum, with no electives until the second year (and then only one per semester). Instead, the faculty decides what students need to know and team-teaches a set of courses, which themselves are coordinated with each other. For example, one course might be covering the Enlightenment at the same time a complementary one might be covering Newtonian physics. My son had applied to one of BU's most popular majors (Film & TV), but was admitted to CGS instead. Initially we were leery of this, thinking it was some sort of booby prize. But when we spoke to faculty members in F&TV, they said students coming out of CGS were often better than those coming from A&S. This persuaded us to let him go there.

It does not surprise me that CGS students are better prepared. At many colleges it's common for incoming students to spend their first two years fulfilling "General Education" requirements. Although some majors may prescribe certain courses to fulfill GenEd requirements (e.g., engineering might require calculus to satisfy a quantitative reasoning GenEd requirement), most majors allow the students to choose most of their courses. For example, I know of one university that allows students to choose from over 14,000 GenEd credit hours to fulfill a 40-hr GenEd requirement. In contrast to, say, Columbia with its great books tradition, this is the exact opposite: the university in question doesn't have the foggiest idea of any substantive knowledge students should have. And, of course, with a ratio of over 350:1 of credit hours to choose from per 1 credit-hour requirement, it's easy for students to find gut courses.

I'm very happy my son went through CGS before going into the F&TV major. When I heard him holding his own discussing quantum mechanics with his older brother, who was a National Merit Scholar and double-majored in physics and philosophy at a top liberal arts college, and when after we saw Lincoln together he mentioned that Democrats and Republicans "were reversed" (left-to-right) at the time of the Civil War, I knew he had made the right choice.

That is indeed an interesting list. Of the seven RPI men's players listed, only Brady Wiffen is expected to be back for the upcoming season. You may remember that he was unable to play his freshman season due to being a partial qualifier. Also, all of the seven are foreign-born.
