Isn't this their coach's last game, too, or close enough?

Yes. He looked really pleased with the send off.

And this makes us Ivy League champs!

As a fool who gets carried away, it has been humbling to watch a fool get carried away.  This keeps up I may learn something.

Not a nice thing to say about someone who runs one of the five most popular websites in a niche college sport

imagine being so unable to ever say you're wrong, that your only recourse is to (wrongly) insult people. sweet.

The good news is, IDGAF. The only reason I reply to you is so that all the other people here (many of whom are friends on some level or another) will get some interesting facts or insight that I can share, instead of the last thing they see being your drivel. I don't expect you to ever admit anything yourself. You choose not to believe me, just because you don't feel like it. I wouldn't say this stuff if I didn't know some things.  I don't profess to know every detail about every thing, nor do I ever proclaim to be "better" than anyone here (except you).

Cheers ... pal.

My post was rude and I take it back. You've been calling me names for several years now, including swooping into conversations that didn't even involve you. So I snapped and resorted to a personal insult, which I try hard not to do.

I know my takes on NIL/revenue sharing drive you crazy, but I'm not really talking about you when I say:
The discourse on this topic is incredibly lazy. Paying players has become an easy scapegoat for anyone whose midmajor has been struggling. Yet I believe this to be complete bullshit in the vast majority of cases. (Speaking solely about men's hockey here but I think most of this applies to other non-football/basketball sports also.)

Here's why:
* nobody who says this stuff has worked in a college athletic department. Nobody has grappled with the costs. In particular, let's take a team that opts into the House Settlement and is now offering 26 rather than 18 scholarships. Even if such a school doesn't add scholarships to any other sport (unlikely), that's still an additional 16 scholarships—8 for men, and 8 for women to satisfy Title IX. That in itself is an extra million-plus dollars per year. And now you expect Colorado College or BU, with no big-time athletics funding to speak of, to revenue share on top of that? Yes, the AD can pull funding from somewhere else—but they're pulling funding all the same. Is it coming out of facilities? Coaches' salaries? Somewhere else? There's no free lunch. It may even get pulled from the same hockey program that the revenue sharing is supposedly helping!
* the relevant question is whether, by attending school A, player X is making money they would not have made by attending school B. Yes, Cole Hutson is getting some money at BU, but that's because he's one of the best players in the country, not because he's at BU. CJ Kirst was making money last year too, and Cornell had zero NIL program to speak of. For purposes of judging the effect of NIL on competitive balance, the fact Cole Hutson is getting money he would have gotten at any other school is meaningless. [Using Cole Hutson as a random example to illustrate a point. Some of the details obviously might be off.]
* the media coverage on this topic is nonexistent. That's not just CHN. It's also USCHO and elsehwere. When I read the McMahon piece, it didn't move the needle for me at all. There's no detail in there. Just vague generalities.
* there's clearly NIL and revenue sharing in college hockey to some degree. But it's very easy to show it exists; it's much harder to show it's widespread. Does the fact one donor was willing to fork over 500K for McKenna mean anything beyond that one specific case? Does the market for such a player affect teams outside the five or so blue-bloods who ever would have been competitive for such a player in the first place? There's a motte-and-baily going on where people are using one instance of some kid somewhere getting NIL to prop up the claim that plenty of teams in big conferences are throwing around money left and right.
* the Cornell coaches have not said the same thing behind closed doors. 

The claim that NIL/revenue sharing is having a significant impact on competitive balance in college hockey is wholly unsupported by any publicly available reporting. Does that mean the claim is wrong? Not necessarily. But those making the claim have done nothing to support it.

I'm really tired of this lazy talking point.

This game ended with maybe the strangest or worst goal decision I've ever seen. In OT, the Yale player takes a bad angle shot that the Harvard goaltender Charette stops but the puck goes under him. It's not clear whether the puck crosses the goal line in real time and the ref quite obviously calls no goal. Both refs go to the review booth and from the overhead view, the puck is squarely on the line by the time play is blown dead but nothing conclusively or clearly shows the puck completely past the goal line. Despite this, the call on the ice is overturned and Yale wins the game. This year may have some of the most questionable or outright bad officiating I've seen in a long time or maybe ever since I've been watching ECAC games
