Future D3 (and D2) hockey programs

well based off the old 2024 forbes financial grades here are some schools he shouldnt go to as theyre below or the same grade as anna maria's financials (2025 is locked behind paywall if anyones got a subscription to them pls feel free to update) Adrian, Utica, AIC, Trine, Franklin Pierce, Roger Williams (No wonder they started a hockey team), Manhattenville, NEC, that new Saint Josephs team, Bethel, and Concordia MN. Personally Utica would be the funniest option for obvious reasons, but in all seriousness Adrian and Trine on this list is great for other teams travel budgets but not good for the NCHA's future.
The fact that this info is public is one of the reasons I'm so frustrated that these poor kids were duped into going to Anna Maria in the first place. Half the schools on this list are actively pursuing AMC students on social media. I hope no one lets these kids go from tragedy to massive mistake.

They may have had no choice. If no one else is interested and you still want to play hockey, AMC was the only option, even if it's a gamble.

I get it. My statement was more general than just hockey (even though this is a hockey forum). Also, if AMC was interested, they almost certainly could have played anywhere else in the MASCAC. I'm most upset with parents, coaches, advisors, etc. Anna Maria has long been an expensive private school with poor academics (outside fire science) and shaky financial footing. A few years ago I read an article ranking them in the bottom 25% nationally on return on investment.
 
DIIIHN making some cryptic posts about the lack of Anna Maria players in the portal. Almost seems to be hinting at a Northland/Beloit arrangement in the works. Not sure if there’s a another New England school that’s been waiting in the wings or if USJ is stepping in while the program is still building.
