Schutz was a transfer student. I think he graduated and would have had to start another degree

Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign
You are correct. He's scheduled to graduate next month (however they're doing that).

Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign
easy... schedule exhibitions against Georgetown and GW club hockey teams and play them in arlington va just for little ol' me!
joking of course.
There will be other teams on UAH's proposed schedule looking for open dates. I say we go to alaska but apparently that's weird in its own way

My bet is no one is going to be traveling by air for awhile- the logistics are ridiculous to manage if something goes wrong.

Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign
Holy Cross just cancelled a 2-game trip to Arizona State. I could see a home-and-home being scheduled with them. Lowell has only played them twice since going to D1, a 7-2 win at Tsongas in 2000 and a 3-0 win in 2010 at the Ledyard Bank Classic. In the D2 days, Lowell played them in every single season from 1967-68 through 1982-83.

I haven't seen how badly airlines are taking things right now. And right now I'm eyeing things as a post infection world though that may be hopeful.
One alternative... and this would be weird... would be a general agreement to reverse the schedules with more non conf play in february... I'm not suggesting alaska in february but more to cut down on travel in the nearer term
I dont have a real answer just a spur the moment thought

Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign
Before you go anywhere they need to figure out how to navigate all the different municipalities and States, arbitrary rules like temperature checking with multiple different cut off temps (which is totally useless- CDC discourages), what do you do if you travel and then the player gets sick when on the road, if they screen out so they can't board the plane, and, and, and.... Currently you would need to quarantine for 14 days after you returned or entered multiple States. If anyone on the bus screens in and is tested everyone in contact is quarantine for 14 days even if they test negative. There is no way to accurately test to screen but if you do who pays, how often, what do you use?
Every State, town/city, school, transport company has a different set of rules- many of them are not based on medical evidence. There is no national plan to fall back on. The tests are not vetted before they are produced and sold. If they get going it won't last til Thanksgiving unless something drastically changes.
(the list is waaaaay longer than that but those are the most common questions)

Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign
somehow I think they'll either a) find or b) force a solution by then... but the next few weeks of "reopening" will say a lot. Is this illness confined to the nursing homes, critical care, and the hospitals? Was our interpretation of spread rates not as strong as we thought or did we do a heck of a job distancing.
I would think if colleges come back in the fall then a lot of the other restrictions won't be there... maybe some "stragglers"... but if the colleges don't come back then obviously a lot of sports is "out" and all bets are off.

Re: UML 2019/2020: Underclassmen Reign
Maybe things are different where you are but up here this is being taken very seriously and we have huge numbers of community spread- outside the medical setting*. There are a lot of politics involved in how things are counted but if you ignore the label COVID and just look at numbers of deaths/hospitalizations for things like pneumonia the numbers are hugely elevated from numbers over the last 5-10 yrs (pneumonia deaths that are 6-10 times that of normal). No matter how people manage to massage the numbers there are a lot more deaths and this is across the country. Our teams play in multiple states with different rules. A number of the States are hit pretty hard.
They may be 'reopening' but they are doing so with multiple adjustments. The rules are not arbitrary, they are based on the current evidence. The legal liability of ignoring any of that is not something they can force to go away. People may want sport but most places are not going to put their athletes up to be sacrificial lambs when they the parents/family can sue, can point to all the ways others have said this is not a good idea if they don't meet measures. The proposed NCAA regs are pretty strict. They aren't required (their way of letting people gamble with athletes' lives) but I think it would be pretty hard to legally defend against why you didn't meet them.
If you look carefully most colleges say they are going to try but almost all of them are not able to articulate how they are going to manage it and give little if any specifics. The big money colleges are talking about testing sequentially but the cost of that is prohibitive and the logistics are also difficult. It is also moot if the athlete decides to go off the reservation.
*just people I know personally- all NOT medical- a family member who was hosp after singing in a choir, a friend who lost a mother and brother (they think they caught it from shopping), someone who caught it from working in a warehouse and their GF caught it from them, another one who caught it from school. (I also know medical people who got it and someone's husband died in a Nursing Home).
**They did random antibody testing in one of the hotspots down by Boston. In 1000 people there were less than 10% with antibodies. Other studies worldwide are showing approx 4-10% of the population have antibodies in random testing even when in areas of high penetration. A lot of people are not going to be comfortable feeling 'safe' for a long time.
