Re: 2014-15 Rosters
You need to do yourself a favor. Go find the person who taught you sentence syntax, slap them, and then ask for your money back. It will make you a lot happier, believe me.
You're starting to sound like U-Wisconsin....maybe they should just give them a "scrimmage"! Not every program has the start up like Adrian. Not every program takes the winning attitude like Adrian did. Everyone wants to point out 24-0 RIT / Neumann score, but just a few years later Neumann was raising a banner because they challenged themselves. Same thing with Fredonia in the late 80s and 90s. Fredonia got beat 25-0 to Plattsburgh then a few years later was beating Plattsburgh and going to the DIII Championships. The best thing teams like SNC and Adrian could do IS play Aurora. UWS, MSOE, UWRF, STU, Stout...they're trying. I don't know much about the school, but maybe they don't have the resources "yet" to put forth a DIII team, but if you shy away from the big boys who will ever want to come to your school? Take some lumps, take some hits. The real question will come with how they respond. Like us east coasters had said with Lebanon Valley, they had the chance to make a successful team but chose not to. Step 1 is creating a team. If they can't offer a decent recruiting package (we won't go into the whole Adrian thing and the mysterious article that claimed they would be going DI) it will be hard for them to pick up some higher end talent. Looks like its about $30,000 a year for school, with an average of $6,000 in institutional aid. That's for in-state and out of state students. They've pulled in some NAHL kids, D3 Kids, and yes some from the SIJHL which has sent kids on to DI schools and ECHL Semi Pro. Let's see what happens. Give it some time.
