Nanooks behaving badly

cameras are so cheap these days.. really makes no sense a league doesnt have multiple ones set up.. have really good ones up around the goal and have stationary ones in all 4 corners so pretty much the whole ice is viewable anytime you want. So many of the penalty replays suffer because of lack of good angles on the cameras that are moving.. we are talking costs of what, 5-10K at the most for this equipment at the high end.. peanuts.

look at big money FB and how many replays they dont have good views of.. No dedicated cameras down the sidelines or on the goal lines anywhere.

This is hilarious given that virtually no D1 football or basketball player is actually a student.

But, yes, by all means conduct a year-long investigation of a dying hockey program over $2500 in travel and lodging.

The NC$$ should DIAF.

Maybe it's a violation but, what's Latin for Mickey Mouse? The "impermissible inducements and benefits totaling $2,259" equates to 45 minutes of Rick Pitino's salary. Cut Alaska-Anchorage a couple breaks or they'll give up the game entirely. AA's lone advantage must be low cost of making ice in winter. Just open the doors.

Oh...what could have been...

Such a joke. The little guys like Alaska get sanctioned for nonsense, while the power conference schools that cheat right and left face no consequences.

I believe that guy is Matt Berniers, #2 pick in last year’s NHL draft, whose father Bob ‘85 played football for the Big Red

His mom ('86 OR) also went to cornell, so did his sister.

I had a chance to speak to Mr. Syer and asked about whether Cornell ever expressed interest in him. He told me that Cornell was fully aware of his talent and family connections but unfortunately, Matt had his heart set on staying in Boston, by which I think he probably meant Harvard :p but the covid season cancellation (thank God) and the scholarship got him to commit to UMich.

Good riddance!!

Yeah, that is good news.

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.

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.

My translation: Yeah, sure. And also, they're hungrier than some of the Ivy League, USC, Wake Forest elite and they want to prove themselves. I rented a couple Enterprise cars over the winter, mentioned this line, and the manager goes, "Oh, yeah, that we are."

As per breaking news from CHN (I don’t have time to post the link) BU has fired Albie O’Connell. I thought their decent 2nd half of the season might save his job, but it wasn’t enough.

Has the Dartmouth no shame: "Inks Contract"? Unless they're channeling their inner Front Page, Hildy Johnson, manner.

Aside: Saw Christopher Reeve '74 play Hildy Johnston at Williamstown Theatre [sic] Festival in the Berkshires a couple years after the Superman thing. The play was rewritten slightly so that when Reeve, back in the office and having worked up a sweat, has to change shirts, onstage, he is not wearing an undershirt, and the collective gasp at seeing him bare-chested crossed all genders.
