and the coaches there letting the players know BC has scholarship $$ available

"Alright guys, gather 'round. Everyone, not just a few of you. BC has some money available for next year. Sooooooo...."
If they didn't tell everyone this equally, how would that not be just as bad haha.

What? I would imagine when scholarship $$ becomes available, or needs change, college coaches let coaches/programs know, particularly a program like the USNTDP. Word then gets to the players.

And BTW, the gentleman's agreement is dumb and not in the players' best interests.

No one is arguing that. You're just the only ones who believe your program wasn't breaking it lol.

You're right about that.

If you think York and staff aren't finding ways to circumvent the agreement though, you're fooling yourself.

Where did I say BC wasn't "circumventing the agreement?" You said an argument can't be made, and I made one. Then I stated my opinion: I don't know what happened. Which, if we're being honest, you don't either.

Who said that? So far I've seen BC fans saying they don't know what happened. Because none of us do. You and the minnesota guy seem to be the only ones who know

Tell us how dumb you think the gentlemen's agreement is after your school loses a key recruit to another school, especially to a rival!

Us BU folk have clearly not been doing our jobs forcing these Minnesotans to step in!

It happens in every major college sport.

I don't know about you, but I don't get worked up over the plight of a 15 year old (or in the case of Merrimack & UMLOL 23 year old).

Re: Boston College Hockey '13-'14: Tournament Season - One Game At A Time!

I found an interesting study on football recruit stealing. The key takeaways are...

• It doesn't happen that often
• It's big schools stealing from big schools

Florida and Tennessee stole 6 recruits each over a five year period. Florida and USC lost six recruits each over a five year period.

Looks like Jeremy Bracco de-committed from Harvard and is now headed to the Heights.

Dr. Melfi's son?

I love everything about this Gentleman's Agreement party being raided by the big boys. My only regret is that Minnesota is the one that spoke up to represent the group and put an end to it rather than BC
