Go USA but, as you know, Harvard sucks.
spent 1 year there, don't know about alumnus. But pretty cool to say we got to see him playing in Ithaca

He got his degree.

Even so, alumnus merely means former student; without the degree, "graduate" would've been improper, but not alumnus. Hahvahd in particular may not love people without degrees holding themselves out as Hahvahd alumni, but they certainly don't mind Bill Gates's and Mark Zuckerberg's donated millions.

This middle graf was painful:
QuoteCollege Hockey News
Prior to that, Rassey was an assistant at Harvard for Ted Donato, who recently resigned after 22 years as the Crimson's head coach.
Despite CHN learning of the agreement Wednesday, Harvard has yet to make an official announcement as of this weekend.
The other finalists for the job were Dartmouth assistant Jason Tapp, and Niagara head coach Jason Lammers.
Which as an editor I'm reading this as, "Hey, we broke the story, why don't you acknowlege it? We're not Sports Illustrated [neither is SI this decade] but still, give us some credit ... " Sometimes breaking a story comes easy: Cornell had a major-sports hire coming [like decades back], I had an idea who it was, I called the house on behalf of the Rochester paper, the babysitter answered and said, "They're out the evening, he wants you to know he's very much interested and if he can talk tomorrow, great." Coaching is one more profession where everybody leaks like a sieve.

multiple legit news sources reported it last week with the news that Harvard was expected to announce by last Thursday, including us.
