        There was a twitter exchange between Cap Carey (Clarkson) and Ken Schott (Union) about this article. If Union is making a token effort to support the women's program, the fault is with the administration and not the coach.

          But shouldn't that work in favor of the women as well?? Assuming that Asano-Barcomb has or could create a pipeline into Canada?

          One other factor to consider is who would be RPI's travel partner? Union is close by so for ECAC travel budgets, it works nicely. If Union were to go back to D-3, you would need to find a school to join the ECAC that is within two hours of RPI to make it work. More travel time puts a strain on those Saturday games which normally start at 4pm.

            I doubt that is a concern for Union, but they are still not going back to D3

              I suspect that RIT would jump at the opportunity as they would on the men's side. It would probably be RPI-Colgate and RIT-Cornell. I really don't see Union leaving the ECAC unless all of the Liberty League teams leave D-I hockey entirely.

                  I wonder what I would do with all of the time which I spend posting here if RPI were to leave D-I hockey. I doubt that I would follow a D-III hockey team anymore than I follow RPI's other teams.

                  Perhaps more importantly, what I would do with the money which I donate to the 'Tute? (not that it is that much money)

                      Nope.

                      IMHO the thing which would most likely cause RPI to leave D-I men's and women's hockey would cause the other D-III schools to also leave -- namely play-ups not being allowed by either D-I or D-III rules.

                        It is a sad sad situation for the players. Nothing like playing for the worst coach in history. I honestly can't imagine how the AD sleeps at night!

                          If it did happen (and I think it will if more FBS schools start offering hockey), the Liberty Hockey League is one kick-arse hockey league.

                            Ok fire the coach then what? I predict that even if Frost or MJ took over this program that the results would be the same, no playoffs. Who would be the next coach to turn a non ivy, non scholarship school with a ****ty rink in a crappy town around? WHO?

                            Let's look at the bigger picture. There are to many teams for the amount of talent out there. The U18 National Team players go to a small % of schools and the rest or left to fend for themselves. Lots of comparisons to the Men's side but it's not a great comp. Look at the # of boys playing hockey compared to the # of NCAA teams compared to the girls.

                            Why aren't people calling for the Yale's coach head like Claudia's? Yale sucks and it's Yale!!! Brown will also be same for years to come.

                              Bingo on that. And if that would happen to Clarkson, I would probably not follow college hockey at all.

                                How long would that last? The better players would immediately transfer out and no others would come.
