Michigan Tech needs a new coach, what do you say Cary Eades?

Re: Michigan Tech needs a new coach, what do you say Cary Eades?

Lots of folks give athletes hard times for getting a business degree at a top engineering school, but at least it is a legit degree that offers the promise of a good job when they hang up the skates as a profession. I was surfing through the Niagara web site the other day and two of their players have "Academic Exploration" listed as their major and they are already in their second seasons... I can only imagine what sort of classes might fall under that heading.Ryan J

I know one tech hockey player was getting his degree in biomedical engineering.

That was Eli.
John Scott got his Mechanical Engineering degree, right?
Also, Derby and VanWagner are in med school.

Re: Michigan Tech needs a new coach, what do you say Cary Eades?

ha! State doesn't either. not many of the football and basketball programs do. I knew a guy who played for Michigan under Bo. his class load went like this :
weight lifting, football coaching 101, football reffing 101, reading 101. ok, ok not reading 101, but the rest was real.

Anecdotes from 40 years ago stopped being relevant about 25 years ago.

During the F4, I noticed at least 4 Sioux players had the major of "Recreation and Tourism Management" (or something like that). Knowing someone who did indeed major in that, it's a joke major.

They gave the student athlete of the year award thing on TV to a guy who majored in "Entrepreneurship"

FWIW, Eidsness graduated in 3 years (or will graduate this May I should say) from the Business School's Entrepreneurship program. It was rated a top 10 Entrepreneurship program in the United States by the Princeton Review.

You're thinking of the wrong UND.

When I was there, they were #9.

They also claim to be in the top 25 in 2009 on their web page.

Apparently they have since dropped out of the top 25.

Even then, they were only in the top 25 for 2 years, and only in one out of many different rankings (at least US News and Business Week also do their own rankings).

I don't know exactly what you are trying to get at. I was merely trying to say that North Dakota had a top flight Entrepreneurship program in response to somebody joking about it as a major. I wasn't at UND in 2008 or 2009, so the #9 ranking was from several years ago, so at that point they were top-25 as well. It really doesn't matter, but I'm going to assume that you are somebody who is going to or went to a top flight school, so you get up in arms about a smaller school like UND doing well in one particular ranking.

Well to respond, there is no degree at UM that is a cake walk. Despite the jokes to the contrary. I think though that a lot of the football players major in kenestheology. which I cannot spell. What they do have which helps is 24/7 tutoring.
Good luck getting a job doing that after you are done.
I remember at Tech I took theory and organization of hockey at least twice. MacInnes taught it at the Dee.

Don't. Knock. Kinesiology. (And, if you are, at least have the courtesy to use Google to check the spelling and get it right.) Done right, that shiz is hard. I watched my 4.0 student little sister study that in school, and it was hard work.
Now, would a student-athlete have that same program? Doubtful. But are 99% of them actually going to use it after school. Not likely. Those who do go through a legit program and use it have a tough row to hoe in school, and go on to PT school or become certified trainers.

/realizes this is all falling on deaf ears anyway
