        I'm guessing UAH dropping hockey was quite unexpected to the WCHA league office. If there were any rumblings of the Chargers folding, they probably would of put off releasing the 2020-21 league schedule.

          can someone explain how LSSU enrollment is bad yet their acceptance rate is ~60%...if they're not getting enough students, why aren't they accepting more students? If enrollment is truly the problem I would expect a much higher acceptance rate for admissions.

            If they accept more students just to get a higher enrollment, they will end up with a lower quality student body. Michigan already has Northern, we don't need two schools with standards that low.

                Technically, NMU is in Upper Wisconsin (or Upper Missouri as CNN calls it), but you still make a valid point.

                  Boosters and Alumni have made a last ditch effort to save the team by this Friday. A GoFundMe has been started, and they have already raised $37,000.

                      It's gonna have to breach $150-200k today to have a shot, based on what I've seen of most crowdfunding efforts. Best of luck. I'm skeptical.

                        If the goal is met, what type of numbers will they have left for players? Players can't really be sitting around right now waiting to see what happens. They need to be out there selling themselves to see if they can latch on with another program, whether it is D-I or D-III. And with Long Island University looking to fill their roster, there are spots out there.

                        And what does this $1 million do for next year, and the year after?

                        As much as I want to see the Chargers survive, I am probably as skeptical as you are...... The school can't keep doing this every 10 years to you.

                            Yeah, that's real smart. Instead of expanding your programming to draw a broader range of students, keep them restrictive and suffer the financial consequences. What are they teaching over there at Tech?

                                335K now. I actually think they might do it.
