Basically meaning, what's our payroll for players. Because that's modern recruiting.

I can believe Bonin21 thinks this. It's par for the course with him.

The tax doesn't really matter if you're making more money. Your net income is almost always still higher even if you pay more money in taxes. This is an argument usually spouted by redneck chuds who don't understand economics and taxation. Now the question is, is it worth it to Raboin to uproot...

Augustana is private, so like Denver, we don't know what they are paying coaches and players. Are they getting Sanford money, some other funding? If it's about money, it's entirely possible Raboin thinks or knows he's getting a better deal there, or at least the difference isn't enough to leave.

Exactly. The U is at a disadvantage when it comes to the modern pay to play model, especially for football.

Brooks is in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Woog is not. Unless you mean the US Hockey Hall of Fame, which is like the Dollar Tree version of the real thing in Toronto. And even so, I'd question why Woog would be in the USHHoF. His moronic "Minnesota players only" hamstrung this program and he never...

You see a lot of younger underclassmen/women playing for private schools so they can play varsity at a much younger age.

Yep. In 8th grade boys hoops this year, Wayzata had six travel teams and six SW league (non-travel, but you play other schools) teams. I think Minnetonka had even more. That's ~120 8th graders playing basketball. Maybe 8 will make the high school team, and even then some of those spots might go...

Talking to a friend who coaches youth hoops for Minnetonka. He said there are three 7th graders playing up on the the 9th grade basketball team at the high school. And Tonka is the second largest school in the state.

Hockey is a rich family sport at this point. Especially if you want to play at the high school level. Are there families with money in districts/attendance areas like Burnsville or Richfield or Kennedy? Yes. But those kids aren't going to Burnsville anymore. They're open enrolling into...

Because the people in this state are the most provincial idiots on the planet. It's the Sid effect.

Same here.

This sentence makes me think there was more than just W-L. "This decision was made after a review of the program on and off the ice."

Not disputing the numbers. But I am disputing your nonsensical claim that the CFL is NCAA D2 level football. It most certainly is not.

Have you ever even watched a CFL game in your life?:rolleyes:

If you've ever spoken to anyone who played in the CFL, its a tough, tough league. Definitely NOT d2.

I concur, and it's why I couldn't stand Doug Woog. He cared more about having an all-Minnesota roster than winning a national championship. That's a loser mentality.

Would you take winning games over everything if there wasn't a single MN native on the roster? I would. But most would not.

The one thing about the academies, is they are, in a sense, national brands.

Air Force will probably generate interest.
