Re: RIT Tigers 2017 / 2018. Is time to go out and capture some prey!
And we think the arena looks empty now.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't "kill" hockey. As you know very well (that maybe some of the younger crowd doesn't recall), RIT had a pretty well established DIII program that drew very well, relatively speaking. There may be a transition period where the fans have to either get over their grief at the loss of the bells and whistles of being a DI program or else embrace the program as-is and go back to enjoying what many of us thoroughly enjoyed for decades before the DI move. It's not the same, but it was a lot of fun....and... they would go back to having a legitimate shot at contending for national titles on occasion - something the DI team can't say.
At least tickets would be cheaper... one would hope.
All that being said, I still don't foresee that happening any time soon.
Unless of course, Dr. Munson is still bitter about and wants revenge for the time RIT went into Yost and upset his Wolverines.
