Second that.

Harvard lower expenditures may be if the coach's entire salary is endowed as opposed to some of it at Cornell, so perhaps that isn't an expenditure. And maybe all Harvard coaches are endowed?

Maybe No. 1 spender North Dakota spent a boatload of legal fees trying to keep the Fighting Sioux nickname? [is  joke] [i think]

BC leads the East in spending, FWIW, twice what the mostly costly Ivy spends, $4.3M vs. about $2M for Yale.

The cost to provide hockey is pretty stiff for some teams with poor attendance. Example: Brown. The Bears drew 10,900 fans to 13 home games, about 840 per game. The Cornell game got the most bodies into Meehan, 1,177 fans versus for, say, Harvard 813 the next night.

lots of unknowns in the costs.  There are endowed costs built into things besides coaches..  many of the new buildings have endowed maintenance costs bulit into them as well. the new scoreboard might have some built into its use.

some people donate air time to fly to recruiting trips at certain schools.

If you want to get your name on a building, you buy the building and, I believe, something like 30 years of maintenance costs. That is probably a good thing especially if it's a replacement building that's bigger, nicer and more expensive to maintain.

Case in point may be a new swimming pool for Cornell. If one is built, it would likely not be funded by Cornell. The Teagle pool is 70+ years old, Helen Newman about 60. A donor is faced not just with facility costs but also paying to maintain the pool.  https://cornellsun.com/2022/03/17/students-and-faculty-fight-to-include-new-swimming-facilities-in-university-capital-campaign/

We just don't have the money right now. We don't have tens of millions of dollars or a donor, or frankly a place on campus to put it.

If I had tens of millions of dollars," she said, "I would be putting it towards salaries, not towards pools.

The Teagle pool is 25 yards. Contemporary pools are 50 meters.

Danger is ChatGPT could improve and condense 90% of our posts. Some more than others.

Imagine if this tool transcribed then improved condensed adapted the minutes of faculty meetings. Or speeches in the Congress.

Big article in Forbes about how Quinnipiac became a college hockey powerhouse. The bad news, but not a surprise, is that Q is going to be working on ways to get NILs for its players. Maybe the college hockey version of the University of Miami?

Apparently Brown's starting goalie Caron is in the transfer portal and BU is coming up quite a bit as a potential landing spot

[Trotsky]

Been three days and no Q early departure.  Among the fun choices:

Yani Perets, Jr goalie
Colin Graf, Fr (58 points)
Sam Lipkin, Fr (43)
Jacob Quillian, So (38)

Does Matthew Campbell, a Freshman who apparently didn't get into a game, count? He entered the portal on Monday.

Graf is a sophomore, after spending his Freshman year at Union. I wish he had wanted to stick together with Seger. Then I thought "maybe he didn't have the grades," but he was ECAC all-academic team and AHCA All-American Scholar.

From: https://unionathletics.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/roster/collin-graf/15102

"I chose Union because of the excellent academics along with it being a great hockey program with a winning tradition. The small school size appealed to me. When I visited the campus and met the coaches, I knew Union was the place for me."

I guess he decided small school size was more important than excellent academics when he decided to transfer.

It's nagging at me that he was one that got away. He wound up leading a similar team to the NC. Then again, would he have had a jump from 22 points to 58? Probably not, but the depth would have been that much better.

How about coming to Cornell? Caron is excellent.

I strongly suspect the Ivies will collude to stop from poaching each other.

Er I mean it will happen totally accidentally.

Cornell has three goalies already.

And another (Katz) coming in Fall '24 to replace McInchak.

We're set in net, and in Shane's senior year we will actually have 3 potential #1 goaltenders competing.
