Agree..that is comical..the difference is that first: Alabama wins and if you knew how football worked, the players they are cutting are on walkons or on scholarship for books/meals not full, half or quarter scholarship players. There are 63 scholarships to go around to 85-100 players. Hockey East has 18 Full or 27 2/3rds scholarships so there shouldn't be this much consternation. No other Division 1 hockey program is like this. In addition, the expectations for Division 1 football coming in are much different. The problem here at UVM is that all this churning of the roster has not resulted in an upgrade of talent. The d core is now the smallest, youngest, and most non-recruited d core in college hockey but that is Sneddons way. He always thinks the grass is greener with the incoming recruits. A great coach sees and develops the best out of players. In addition, these are for the most part really good kids and good teammates. The blame is clearly on this staff. Any attempt to justify it is ridiculous. If the kid understood they were on a one year tryout, they wouldn't come which is a sign of lies and innuendos being used in the recruiting process. If UVM continually has that many "bad" players coming in that need to be "churned" out or pressured to give up their scholarship then it is a direct reflection on a lack of an eye for talent or potential, either way it is clearly the fault of the staff. Wallack did the same thing at Yale but he was able to hide behind admissions and the fact there were no scholarships. I predicted it would take him 2-3 years to blow this program up and now the fuse is lit. Shame on Sneddon and the new AD for allowing this to happen.
