Despite reading this is the Top 100 Athletes, for some reason, I still feel the need to offer the suggestion of coaches. He was the long-standing coach for the Miami Dolphins.

Re: Reforming College Hockey

There are maybe two or three that are not from N. America. I don't know all of them, but just off first glance I think that's it.

And there is at least one more horse.

Anyways, I'm gone for the evening. I will update the list in the morning.

Besides, I ignored it for weekends and evenings too, when I did the list.

Why do you think they are call "liberal arts" college's?

Why? Because they teach how to use the apostrophe? Because they discriminate between homonyms such as "their" and "there?" Because, like Orwell [a name on my list], they believe sloppy writing is the result of sloppy thinking, and vice versa?

Ruined? Nah. Trivialized, perhaps, but not ruined.

If my suggestion of uniting Division I and Junior Hockey were implemented we could be spared all the yapping about "which team was hurt most by defections to the pros." Plus attendance and profits would go up, costs to the schools would go down, the level of play would improve, academic shennanigans and recruiting violations would vanish, and free-market capitalism would reign supreme.
I'm puzzled by the violent reaction to this modest proposal. Aren't athletic scholarships a form of socialism; another giveaway program? Who can these angry protesters be but anti-business, flaming liberals?

Except the players earn their scholarships, they have to play hockey to get the scholarship, if they stop playing they scholarship ends. Better you pay the better scholarship you receive.... hmm seems pretty socialistic.
