Since it looks like Bugaboo Creek has closed, any word on who will sponser WITR's 3 stars of the game?

Interesting article on the "Cost of Attendance" stipends that some schools will be offering: http://www.uscho.com/from-the-press...n-place-in-some-places-we-wait-to-see-impact/

I find this quote very interesting:
Schools that are mainly in Division II or III but play in Division I for hockey can offer the stipends, and it’s clear from the numbers that some will.

Any word or rumors on RIT offering cost of attendance stipends?

Other then the school was looking into them I haven't heard anything. But then again I think that Bates award Scotty Mac got could play into freeing up money to be used as stipends for the players but I'm just taking a shot in the dark with that one.

wouldn't you have to get clearance from the conference?
the WCHA issued a statement of support for members that choose to give stipends.

Probably - who knows what the AHA(C) will do, since they can't even seem to get their name right in their press releases...
In yesterday's release announcing an Elmira guy as the new Director of Communications, they were back to AHA.

I was intrigued by that as well. CoA seems like a difficult thing to define for a D-III program. If you're not offering scholarships to begin with (or even only partial scholarships), how do you define the difference between scholarship and the true cost of attendance? Are the players limited as to what they're allowed to allocate that money to? And who decides how much of a stipend is too much? If a kid gets a $5000 stipend, then all he or she does is play hockey, go to class, study, eat, and sleep on campus while never leaving town (going home) or going out or spending money at all, can they use the leftovers of that money to offset tuition instead?
Other wonderings... Does every player on a given team get the same exact stipend? Do the members of different teams within a given school get the same stipends? If not, how is it decided who gets what? Players' value to the team, team's value ($) to the athletic department, as a consolation for some who may only get partial or no scholarships? This whole thing can get very expensive, especially at football schools. If every athlete all the way from the star quarterback down to the last bench warmer on the women's equestrian squad are all getting the same full stipend, that's a hefty chunk of change. If there are differences, there are going to be shouts of inequity and the system being unfair.

If you need conference approval to offer them, I would be shocked if Atlantic Hockey will allow teams to offer them. Otherwise, it would be foolish not to look at offering them, even if you don't do it.

I'm sure Athletes could use a stipend.. say around $30,000 a year?

You know, for all the times we mentioned them on the air, I never went in the place.

And now we know why they closed! =)

Every time I went in there were fewer people there. Lines were out the door when they first opened, but crowds slowly dwindled over the years. I wonder if Longhorn and later Texas Roadhouse just sapped too much of the market.

According to the all-knowing reddit, if you buy a NWHL jersey with a specific player's name on it they're entitled to 15% of the sale. I was planning on supporting Buffalo, but I can also get behind purchasing a Brown jersey from the Riveters.

Zach and Grigg signed with the Beauts, if you would prefer a Buffalo jersey.
