    FF: Not sure what this all changes just yet. In many cases, and in some sports in particular-the term student athlete is just a sham. The athlete is in college for one reason only-to receive money to play a sport and then he can move on to the professional level if he is good enough where he will get more money, but at least it will be out in the open and not called scholarship or financial aid of some type. The college sport in those cases simply serves as the minor league for the professional sport. Hockey has always been one of those sports that was a bit different. Sure there are some fellows who are in school just for the sport and have no pretense of being a student(more so at a few schools than others)-but on the whole, it is nowhere near as prevalent as in basketball or football. Hockey has a well developed minor league system-as does baseball-and can function quite well at deveoping players without the colleges if need be. But i totally agree with you-there is a distinct odor emanating here and I am not one of those that likes the smell.
    I agree that the NBA and the NFL have used colleges as their minor league development system in a really shameless and cynical way. It seems to be a contest among remoras here about who can suck up the most scraps.

        Getting technical, but I think math is allowed here, but isn't it four including today?

              Hockey banquet 4/26/14. I am not posting a link since it might contain my secret number, not that I am using it.

              This link looks clean http://alumni.rpi.edu/s/1225/index.a...id=8496&crid=0.

                  Not to mention, in Brideless Groom, I thought it was Shemp who said that.

                            *-FlagDUDE has not actually seen this game yet, but since he seems to be on this board 20 hours a day he'll probably be the first reply to this post.

                            • Scanned this thread only briefly to see if it was posted earlier and if so I apologize. Not sure if this is playing in 'Capitaland', but here in the Southern Tier (Elmira area), Time Warner Cable Sports channel is playing the Providence game from 1985.

                              Cheers,
