Good riddance!!

[Trotsky]

Yeah, that is good news.

[CAS]

Quinnipiac's top 6 scorers this year are all either seniors or grad transfers, so next year's team will look a lot different than this year's team.

Unless Perets leaves I think they're still gonna rock.

Yeah, they're one of those teams who you think "as soon as this class leaves, they'll come back to earth," and then they get another 2-3 all-league caliber players. Of the past 10 seasons, they've finished lower than 3rd twice. Pecknold gets everything he needs.

This is what happens when your admissions requirements are under water compared with the rest of your league.

Barring them leaving, we should kick them out.  Even Vermont had more academic integrity.

What is the basis for saying all this stuff? Quinnipiac lets everybody in, but Clarkson doesn't? BTW, Q has 2 draft picks on their team this year and Clarkson has 7. Yes, Q likely has low academic standards for their athletes, but so does mostly everyone else. Since when was the ECAC supposed to represent academic excellence?

Since always.  That was the basis for the Great Divorce in 1984.

We are the conference that deliberately handicaps ourselves by not letting in the Joe Rockheads that go to the factory schools.  We're the last bastion of some degree of academic integrity in a sports landscape where jocks are just paid employees who barely attend class.

FWIW, my beef with Q is not that they're trying to be a jock factory, but most decisions the school has made in the last couple of decades, including moving up the hockey program to D1, have been marketing ploys.  (E.g., they have a polling center because they realized that every time someone says "Quinnipiac poll", the school's name is mentioned in the media.)

Quinnipiac, in all facets of its expanded form, is the natural result of the student-as-consumer model of education. Coming soon to a campus near you!

As the president of Enterprise Rental said of his academic background and wanting branch managers like him: I want to hire hungry people. I want the people who made possible the upper half of the graduating class.

Translation:  I want people with low expectations so I can pay them peanuts.
