    Well, that is indeed why you are the KING!! Nice job!!

    Is it on the Courant web site? Assume it will be in the Sunday paper. Wow, two HE schools declined to participate. Wonder why?

        It would have to be private schools, I would assume BU and BC.

          The value proposition is to go from half a million in the red per year to $2.3 million in the red per year without counting the women's rides in the equation or the Freitas upgrades needed even it they do not play there.

          I am guessing this does not fly even though there have been some very declarative statements about going forward and applying to HE.

                I'm thinking this has nothing to do with being friendly with UConn or not. I'm guessing that it is BC and BU and they were afraid certain pieces of their information might leak to the other.

                      I would assume all the public schools participated. That information has to be released anyways b/c they are government institutions, and it is all FOIA-able, so there's no benefit to not saying anything.

                        The report says
                        Two institutions whose hockey programs are recognizable in both Hockey East and in collegiate hockey, did not participate in this survey. As a result, data from Hockey East schools is weighted towards more modest revenues and expenses.
                        I'm honored that you think that the UMass hockey program fits that description.

                          Not saying that those teams as a group are necessarily inferior, it's just that I hate AQs, and see no reason for allowing them to trump the PW. We certainly don't need another one dangling out there to further muddy the water.
                          The NC$$ already has an out to not award a 6 team league an AQ. However, the Ivies aren't going to force this split unless it comes at the hands of the other 6 schools in the ECAC. Both like the association with the others right now, with QU being the possible exception. As far as not liking the way the league is run, the Ivies still have majority rule in anything that goes on in the league. If they don't like the way it's being done, they are as culpable as any other institution or the league itself.

                                And an average of 51 suites in ECAC arenas??? With an average of 58 seats?? Among other strange numbers. The AHA sales numbers definitely don't add up. Hopefully, for UConn's sake the critical numbers regarding UConn and HEA are more accurate.
