Miami Ohio's Peter Suder probably one of lesser-known names at NBA combine. Helped himself with 27 vs Tennessee in NCAAs. 6-5, 22-yr-old, combo skill set/IQ for a potential connector role. 42% 3PT, 48% 2PT jumpers, 22% AST, very efficient self-creator in ISO/PnR, 44% catch-shoot

@chnews Not going to happen. Football and Baksetball drive the bus. 63 hockey teams don’t.

@mgruber173 @Waughhhh @AlexMicheletti The well of players is the same well whether that’s 5 in 5 or no limit. Everyone still plays by the same rules. There is no carve out for the top 12-15. I don’t think that’s a compelling argument. Miami had Marosov playing at 17. BU had Lawrence a 16 year old.

@Waughhhh @mgruber173 @AlexMicheletti Wrong Miami had the youngest and one of the oldest this past season. At 17 and 26 respectfully. Owen Lalonde turned 26 Feb 1. So try again.

@Army94 @mgruber173 @AlexMicheletti Not how it works and that’s just not true. You do realize there are other options for these players than the 63 D1 colleges right? There are no 26 year old players playing college hockey at the D1 level and only a handful of 25 year olds depending on their birthdate.

@mgruber173 @AlexMicheletti That’s BS. There are only 63 D1 hockey schools and way more elite players than spots. I 100% support the NCAA here. We don’t need 26 year old former pros playing hockey in college.

@AlexMicheletti Sorry, with the NCAA on this one. College sports are for college kids, enough with 25/26 year old men and AHL washouts on D1 teams 8 years out from high school taking up spots from kids

Do college athletes still go to class? Here's what I learned about how Maryland's student-athletes view academics today (long tweet, sorry, getting my $3 a month's worth): Maryland men's lacrosse's Will Schaller and baseball's Brayden Martin told The Sun that their teammates are deprioritizing classes and the administration should do more to ensure academics remain a focus. Schaller: "I'd be naive to think that it hasn’t changed. I think there might be a sense of, 'I'm getting paid to basically be an athlete, so that’s going to be my full-time job now.' There’s definitely some work to be done to make sure student-athletes are keeping their education at the forefront.” Martin: "In this day and age, people can get away with not being too great at school and being a good athlete." Their honesty is shocking. And you can see this shifting attitude in what players choose to major in. Of the football team’s 96-man spring roster, 46 are majoring in either sociology or communication or are undeclared. For men’s basketball, 11 of 16 players on last season’s team had one of those three focuses. In 2019 (Locksley's first season), just 21 football players majored in SOCY or COMM or were undeclared, and only four men’s basketball players chose those majors. That's more than double and almost triple the number of athletes choosing the same area of study. Why? UMD professors say they think athletes are being nudged toward majors that players and their advisers consider easier. "They perceive that it is a little less demanding," communication professor Jeremy Grossman told me. "It’s lower course requirements," a BSOS faculty member told me. "They’re just looking to stay eligible. I’ve had football players, basketball players participate and be active members in classes. But that’s usually the rarity." Of course, Jim Smith and Maryland admin push back on this. "That importance of academics still exists and will always exist here," the AD said. "College athletics has changed, obviously, but what we do hasn’t changed," Brady Rourke, the director of the Gossett Center for Academic Success, told me. Athletes still must remain eligible. At Maryland, that means maintaining a 1.8 GPA and completing 6 credits per semester. Attendance is not mandatory, but UMD's athletic council handbook says it's "monitored regularly" by Rourke's office. The bigger question is if athletic departments like Maryland can even afford to keep academics a priority. UMD's financial struggles are well documented. Rourke says his office hasn't dealt with any budget or job cuts so far while the rest of campus does. But it's clear that academics and athletics are struggling to coexist. More players just don't see themselves as students anymore.

Do we think D1 coaches should be allowed to bring in freshmen in January and cut them 4 mos later before they’ve even had a fall season? Either these coaches are terrible recruiters or they’re basically just holding a tryout and seems the NCAA should have rules for this. I don’t think it’s unreasonable if you entice a young athlete into foregoing half of their senior year in high school and commit them to your university and program that you would not be allowed to cut them until you’ve actually had a season.

@Mavpuck Not about hockey. No one at the NCAA cares about 65 teams versus the hundreds for football and basketball.

The “18-year old freshmen will be better for college hockey” lobby is very vocal, and also doesn’t have a clue how the sport works at the D-1 level. Hockey simply doesn’t have the national footprint at the high school level that sports like football and basketball do. Hockey players in places like Texas and California have few local options. If you want programs outside of Minnesota, Michigan, and New England to be successful, you have to give talent from non-traditional markets the opportunity to develop as players. That generally means 2 or more seasons playing junior hockey.
College Hockey News@chnews

Things were passionate today in Florida as coaches tried to explain to NCAA lawyers the impact of their new age/eligibility rules on hockey, and where hockey is different.

@JLazzy23 @ColbyCohen36 Hockey is at the bottom of the NCAA sports hierarchy, they can bitch all they want but it will literally make zero difference. Football and basketball drive the bus. Almost 500 teams versus college hockeys 65 teams.

I’ve spoken to a few college hockey coaches and I’ve heard there’s been some passionate discussion in Bonita Springs at the NCAA coaches convention. The NCAA coaches have stressed the importance of maintaining the current developmental ecosystem in hockey. They have a 98% graduation rate while developing great pro players, it’s a system that works. There has not been any final decision on the “five-in-five” bylaw for NCAA Division I sports.

@PeteFiutak Transfer already lost so that’s a non starter. The rest I’m cool with but it will all probably lose too.

This college sports eligibility thing has gone so far out of whack. Let me help... - Undergraduates only - Full-time students, standard credit course load - No more than 6 years out of high school - 1 free transfer, each one after costs a year of eligibility Is that SO hard?

@PombearClare @erinflorez01 @MarioNawfal What if you find a healthcare worker molesting or raping the patient? It’s like the every solider is a hero propaganda. It applies to HCW as well. Most are good but let’s not pretend malicious actions have not been taken by people in positions of trust in the healthcare system.

This guy learned that his mother, who had been battling cancer for 10 years, had died. But instead of blaming the cancer, he blamed the people providing her care. Just like that, the doctor becomes the patient.

@CHN_AdamWodon What exact harm is it doing? Be specific? You can’t play college sports at 26-27 years old? We get back to college kids graduating in 4 or 5 years?

@crathanael @BurtTalksSports Totally disagree, St. As is way too small to support D1 at the men’s level. With the pending enrollment cliff it’s only going to get harder for schools like St. A’s (think Mercyhurst) similar enrollment and it’s going to become increasing difficult just to keep the lights on.

It’s verboten to say that sometimes women engage in sex acts they consent to at the time & then later, usually under the influence of friends/therapist, decide to retroactively rationalize the guy did something very wrong. Here a woman unwittingly publicly admits to this… #NSFW

Amy Schumer revealed that in her prime she usually called men to go down on her and sends them off after because men also do that to ladies “At my peak, I called a professional athlete to go down on me and I told him to leave after, happened a couple times”

Not just independents. But “small” conferences too. Look at the data. NCAA needs to step in at some point and add rules on transfers. This can’t be free agency every year. Will kill the sport.
Dylan Ghaemi@GhaemiDylan

Until the NCAA sets clear parameters on transfers, independent programs will continue to be used as a holding ground for players chasing better offers. It has turned into an extra year of junior hockey used to earn a move elsewhere.
