Subject: Re: NCAA Settlement and future issues for the Big 4 Author: RCM [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, August 16, 03:19:09pm Author Host/IP: NoHost/104.28.55.234 In reply to: Purp 1 (Buff News) 's message, "NCAA Settlement and future issues for the Big 4" on Friday, August 16, 12:32:13pm I spoke with someone very close to college hockey on vacation last week. A coach at what we would call a mid major… He said the additional scholarships as part of this settlement will likely be the end of many mid major hockey teams. He said what we know, many college hockey teams are essentially loss leaders for schools. He said that the coming years will see a churn of many smaller schools cancel college hockey with many large schools adding college hockey to keep the numbers where they need to be as teams but also more revenue and eyes to the sport. He would not surprised to see ACC schools at hockey within a decade. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Wny Author: Wcpurple [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, August 16, 10:55:11pm Author Host/IP: syn-071-080-194-159.res.spectrum.com/71.80.194.159 I suspect wny to be without d1 college hockey in 5 years. I think Dwyer rink and lot gets sold to black bear sports. Canisius is an easy drop, no on campus rink, no one cares. Rit is likely to stay

Somebody has to say it , so it might as well be me. Sports , like every thing else has gone left. Men in women's athletics, et al. There is no rhyme or reason for anything any more. Most if no all the smaller schools will be driven out of major college sports. Did you ever think you'd see the day that UCLA and USC would be in the BIG TEN ?
