  • Penn State scandal and its effect on the rising hockey program

    Will there be an adverse effect? What do you think? Joe Paterno has just been fired as well as the school's president. Their athletic dept. is also in shambles.

    I can't see it having any effect unless for some reason the financing is pulled by the original donor.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      the decision to add hockey had to do w/an alum who donated some $80 million. the U president and admin just said "yes, thank you". unless he backs out (which I highly doubt) they'll have hockey.

        Biggest effect? More vitriol and ammo for opposing fans.

          In all seriousness, any athlete or coach on this campus will be under a microscope... Things like DUI's or bar fights will get attention that might have otherwise passed over... They will need to stay clean....

            I suppose the bad press could potentially have a negative effect on recruiting.

              They probably shouldn't scout potential recruits at too young of an age, that's for sure.
              the state of hockey is good

                  If there is a way to work "Nittany Pedo Bears" into a chant, I trust the student sections of the Big Ten to get it done.

                  At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                    I think this absolutely will have an impact on it, specifically recruiting--which we all know is the lifeblood of college sports. There's no going back in this scandal. It's the biggest in college sports history--the seed has been planted in the minds of parents everywhere. Not exactly the publicity you're looking for when you're in the business of recruiting young men.

                    I think Guy Gadowsky wishes he was still at Princeton.

                        I really hope they schedule away non conference series at Cornell and Tech.

                            I really dont know what to believe will happen. I feel bad for everyone in this mess, especially the victims. Then theres the athletes, the alum etc. My kneejerk reaction would be to fold the plans since its a really small conference but even that seems impossible at this point?

                              Lucky you I think they are supposed to be coming to Lynah during the 2012-2013 season (If not that then 2013-2014). You can be sure we won't disappoint.
