An expression we use in town for her. I think the folks at PSU should be ashamed of themselves with what happened in football program but to think there is the same commitment at RPI as there is at PSU is far fethched. Empac was a disaster, the school's debt has been downgraded after an explosion of spending, etc. etc. The improvements came but with whose $$$$. I hope this finds you well.
As for "knowing about hockey", couldn't you have said the same about a past coach that is significantly lauded amongst many of the RPI faithful?
A "new barn" and "travel budget" require the same thing, one which you do rant about a bit later on.
As for the academic requirements, I don't think it's as big of a problem as we make it out to be. Main reason being that the NCAA is not a monopoly when it comes to kids of this age. Those who aren't serious about education don't need to get placed into basket weaving courses; they just go to Major Junior. Are the offerings more stringent than that of a B1G school? Perhaps. However, looking at how ice hockey has probably the highest (or darn close to it) GPA of all collegiate sports, I have every faith in the kids to be able to handle it.
