    Miami??
    BGSU?????????? (this I doubt)

        The NCAA restricts age in all D-1 and D-2 sports. Waivers can be granted, of course, but eligibility begins to be affected the year after your high school class graduates. Hockey and Skiing currently allow for delayed enrollment until after your 21st birthday. In other words, Hockey has an exemption now to 21. Most all other sports don't.

                    Save the semantics lesson for someone else. They aren't getting paid.

                      It's not a semantics lesson, it's a legal truth. I don't know what the adherence rate to the law is, but when you fill out a 1040 to file your taxes, there's a section about the dollar value of scholarships you've received. Not all players are on scholarship, so not all of them are being paid, but as we know, a number of them are.

                        Re: New age restrictions for NCAA hockey

                        Full disclosure...I am a BC fan. While I don't particularly love the idea of 21 year old freshmen etc my stance has softened on that over the years. First, Jerry York has had plenty of success nationally while almost always having the youngest or 2nd youngest team in the country. It hasn't prevented BC from winning and winning big. So even if BC voted for this, it makes sense to me that this was started by the Big Ten schools. Wisconsin stinks on ice, Minnesota hasn't won since 2003, Michigan last won in 1998, Michigan State has been an average program the last five years or so.

                        If you want/need older freshmen, bring it on. It really doesn't bother me that much at all. I may joke about it but I will never use it as an excuse when BC loses. Never.

                          Let's not get sidetracked from the topic of this thread, which is that Don Lucia is a crybaby beyotch.

                            This list plus Western Michigan and Arizona State would be the "big name schools". But I have a hard time believing my school is on board with this. 6 years ago those older guys who saw us as their last chance to play hockey came in and worked their butts off to make this a program that kids now want to be a part of.

                              You view a paid (or mostly paid) college education as nothing? If a guy gets an 80% ride at SCSU and stays 4 years, that's worth about $71K, it ain't nothing, and it ain't semantics.

                                By all means get rid of the overaged Canadian mercs.

                                I have no idea how Merrimack would field a team without them but I'm sure they'll figure out something.
