Shirley won't sign him, has nothing to do with Coach Smith not wanting to sign or the AD not wanting him back. He will be signed during the summer once Dr. Schmidt is in place. RPI wants to limit the attention to this because surely they can't let our leader Shirley get justifiably attacked for this adding to her terrible presidency

see, I’ve kinda thought the opposite. I’ve been thinking that he’s already been signed, she’s just waiting until June 30 to make the announcement as sort of a last hurrah and a “see, I told yo so” thing. You would definitely k ow more than me though

Hockey is RPI's only Division I sport, but it's certainly not RPI's only sport. RPI's Division III programs have prospered greatly in recent years.
The lacrosse team made the NCAA tournament this year and handed national champion RIT their only loss of the year along the way. The basketball team made it to the third round of this year's NCAA tournament. The soccer team made it to the fourth round a couple of seasons ago. The football team went three games deep into the NCAA tournament this year - those of us who watched RPI football in the '60's would have had a hard time imagining that the football team could ever enjoy the kind of success they've had in recent years.
All of those teams play in the ECAV, on the construction of which RPI spent a great deal of money under Dr. Jackson's leadership.
I don't think I can agree that she never cared about sports. But I have a suspicion, though I've never heard anyone say so explicitly, that she felt Division III was the proper level for RPI sports.

ECAV is a big factor along with good coaching and the AD probably adds something. I think DS benefits from the contract delay. His wife's employment may also be a factor.

Wicked the $20 mill sticks in your head because that’s exactly what Shirley said in broad daylight to everyone at Dave’s presser. Nothing more than a bold face lie. She had no intention or desire to provide any kind of support. The whole situation is a joke. RPI needs a new AD! Someone with new energy and enthusiasm for all programs including mens and women hockey. It’s their only D1 sport on campus start treating it like such. Not some pain in the *** you have to deal with. The history and traditions are their to grow the hockey programs. Clarkson has no problem, Cornell has no problem, union has no problem, Harvard has no problem, qpac has no problem etc… What’s missing at RPI? It’s very obvious what’s missing. Clear house get some young blood in their who’s excited and hungry to make rpi hockey a force to be reckoned with again. Instead Shirley pulls a retired guy from down the road who knows nothing about hockey as our ad. Conducts no national search to find anyone..:nope we get the dude down the road at suny Albany who says sure I’ll do it but back the brinks truck up to my house if I’m gonna do you this favor.
