Quote from: arugula on May 11, 2026, 02:45:08 PMI always liked, as many of us did, that Roberston fessed up and "blamed" his parents when he transferred--"can't ask my parents to keep paying this tuition."  That's just a much more politic, and charming, response to the question, 

That's not even "blaming" though - it's just "money, currently, matters to the family". Which I think many of us can relate to! Especially given how damn much Cornell costs, and that Ivies don't give scholarships to athletes.

Be careful how you say this. Ivies don't give Athletic Scholarships, but they do give scholarships to athletes and many receive them.
Yeah - that is what I meant! Sorry for being technically wrong. I guess "Ivies don't give scholarships purely for athletics" is a better way to put it?

Topher Scott talks everything NCAA Hockey in this episode, including transfer portal, NIL and new 5 year rule.

(this could have been in a few different threads, Alumni in the Pros? IDK. Mods feel free to move)

I know I started this thread and all, but, having now read through it and followed the links and stories, I realized I just don't give a shit about what goes on off-ice.

The team I love are those who are wearing the sweater as I watch a particular game.  Whoever comes out the tunnel is yay.

The rest is codswallop.

Dammit. Every time I'm clicking on any of these threads, that's exactly what I think to myself. I realized long ago that I just don't care about following any of these commits, draft rankings, decommits, Junior pipelines, prospect-hugging whatever threads/discussion. I'm going to show up in the fall and cheer on the players hitting the ice dressed in our sweater. That's all I care about. Learn new players and their strengths and development.

I recognize that a lot of people do like that stuff, so I just stay quiet and let those who do have their fun or stress or whatever gets people occupied.

So Greg isn't alone, I'm just upset he took the credit. :-)

I thought the most interesting part was when Topher said that he, and other Alumni Players, talked about how had the easy transfer portal rules existed in their playing time under Schafer that some of them would have transferred, but were ultimately glad they didn't, because in the end they learned more from being coached by Mike, even if he was hard and they didn't originally understand everything he was teaching them.
