FYI...if your going to the game at West Point,I've been told you have to do a background check at The Visitors Center,and have your covid card etc,so may want to leave a little extra time...
So apparently the homecoming game is planned to be a white-out. So unique to RIT, white. If only there were some other color we could use.
Does anyone know of a transcript or summary of the new AD's town hall forum from yesterday? Curious what she had to say.

Always finish what you
You think your PP is bad? Try SLU's. We should have the option to decline.
Was a fun game to watch with my RIT grad buddy, but I admit that I cringed when MacLeod ran Matthews.
As soon as we fell behind, though, the lack of a decent shooter doomed us.
Good luck to RIT from now on!

We'll also have radio on Thursday and Friday in case you'd like to watch with our audio.
It was my turn to write the USCHO Monday 10 column this week and I included this note from an interview we did on WITR Saturday night with RIT's new AD Jackie Nicholson:
10. Speaking of scholarships …
During an interview on RIT’s radio network Saturday, new athletic director Jackie Nicholson said that RIT and Union have joined together to ask that they be allowed to offer a full complement of 18 athletic scholarships each for men’s and women’s hockey. Both schools moved their programs to Division I well after a 1983 NCAA Division III waiver that allowed existing D-III institutions with D-I programs to have their scholarships grandfathered. (That waiver withstood a challenge in 2004.)
Three D-III athletic conferences are supporting the move according to Nicholson: the Liberty League – of which both RIT and Union are members, along with Clarkson, St. Lawrence, and Rensselaer – as well as the nearby SUNYAC and Empire 8 conferences.
All six D-I hockey conferences have written letters of support to the NCAA on behalf of the two schools.
The vote is scheduled for January 22, 2022 at the NCAA national convention.

Do you mean the video/TV broadcast or radio?
I'm guessing the TV broadcast. It usually makes its way downstate when we play non conference. Also he's 100% right, the TV broadcast is legitimately terrible. No real hockey knowledge or acumen. Just Rochester's sports talk "voices" being pigeonholed into a role they are woefully unequipped for.
When I catch games live and not after the fact in DVR, syncing you guys and muting the TV broadcast is a must.

What a difference 17 years makes. IIRC, Union voted against maintaining the grandfathering way back in 2004.
Yes it was the broadcast on Flo sports. For whatever reason there's always subtitles when I'm watching.
They work hard to do a professional and entertaining job and we consider them both our friends and colleagues.
Radio and TV are necessarily different; radio requires a lot more detail to make up for the lack of pictures.
I’m able to bring a knowledge of the overall college hockey scene because of my writing and podcast work for USCHO, and Scott and Matt also do a lot of prep work ahead of games.
