I would rather he lure some Badger commits ;-)... -
I've mentioned this on other threads, but previous reporting suggests that RMU was heavily dependent on tuition revenue prior to COVID-19 and that a drop in enrollment caused some painful cuts in January 2019. Unclear whether continued enrollment pressure was a factor here, but hard to imagine the enrollment...Leave a comment:

It understandable to be thoroughly dismayed and angry, but I am guessing the board might have needed to make a cut. I found some reporting about the financial condition of the university the year before the pandemic that suggests a landscape where any budget decision needed to be immediate.

RMU's 2019 Form 990 lists total expenses for the year of over $170 million. That inverted ratio makes a school very dependent on tuition revenue....Leave a comment:

I think this is close to the mark. One wonders if the rink and property will be sold given those comments and its riverfront location. Also wanted to highlight that there has been previous reporting on RMUs falling enrollment issues, which necessitated a $4 to $5 million dollar cut to staff at the beginning...Leave a comment:

True, the larger press release is just coded language for budget cuts and revenue actions across the university. I am guessing that hockey was the loser because it was likely the biggest line item that could be cut, given the current menu of RMU sports teams (few schools dare to cut football or hoops)....Leave a comment:

I don't have insight into this situation, but could be as simple as a potential promotion/salary increase. Assistant coaches tend to move frequently, especially if not the top assistant/associate head coach. Salaries for assistant slots tend to be low and variable across schools, and not always easy...Leave a comment:

Ted's is still open, and only closed on Sundays (Pre-pandemic, they were open 7 days a week). The problem for Ted's is they have had a hard time hiring staff as capacity has increased, a problem shared by many restaurants. The owners decided to reduce hours so not to stretch people too thin. Ted's...Leave a comment:

Won't argue that ECHL is easy street, but I think there is certainly recognition in the sport that a college assistant job is a special type of grind:"Former Minnesota Duluth assistant and associate head coach Jason Herter, who stepped down this spring after nine seasons with the Bulldogs, has...Leave a comment:

The point about the pandemic uncertainty and minor league pay is fair, but the "college grind" is really about the longer term dynamic of logging some very serious year-round hours and travel to recruit players as an assistant, versus being a professional head coach with NHL and AHL affiliates...Leave a comment:
