Re: NCAA era Program rankings-accomplishments only
These organizations have gone on record saying, "College hockey would have folded if Minnesota had recruited from out of state?" 'Cause all I'm saying is that it wouldn't have (folded).
Want a cookie?
I never said anything about Woog. It turns out that I knew all of this, because, you see, some of us care and know about all of college hockey, not just our own provincial little school.
Just like every other state school - so what?
Anyone who actually cares about college hockey as much as you claim to would be able to figure that out from my user name. BTW, both my parents and numerous other relatives have UMTC degrees, so my disagreement has nothing to do with ignorance - I'm well aware of the school and its mission. I just believe that college hockey would not be in any danger of folding if 59 schools were recruiting from all over instead of a measly 58.

Minnesota has MORE HOCKEY Hall of Famers than any other college, more US Hockey Hall of Famers than any other college, more Olympic Hall of Famers than any other college, and last I checked, has sent MORE players to the NHL than any other college.
And what you called this "dreamed up in-state policy", first of all wasn't invented by Doug Woog, its been the "general" school policy from the beginning of its existence and only reinforced by John Mariucci who predates Woog by decades, so yes, it can absolutely can be retroactively accredited to the University of Minnesota, because UMn is whats called a PUBLIC University. STATE TAX DOLLARS are used to support it and its mission. It has branch offices all over the state. UMn-Mpls is the Main school, but is part of a larger system, including UM-Duluth, UM-Crookston, etc.. All of these schools see as part of their mission, to give opportunities to MINNESOTA RESIDENTS to get a higher education.
UMn sees it as part of its role in society, to contribute to the economy of the state of Minnesota, to the improvement of living conditions and life in general of Minnesota residents. Minnesota residents get something called INSTATE tuition rates that are much more affordable than those from other states.
What school is it btw, that you support?! How is it that you don't understand this concept of what a PUBLIC University's mission is???
