I don't think anyone here thinks the student athletes don't deserve it. The issue is the SU athletic department dodging questions about the increase in fees so that they may "be more competitive with comparable universities...."
Winning doesn't mean you have great players at every position. Just look at Carolina's stats from yesterday. Rushing TDs and Olsen(TE) taking care of the receiving.
My guess is the moment SU gets a hockey team, they will close the REA, all coaches and players will transfer down south, and all the fans will swear their immediate allegiance to the Bison.
Huge loss for the team, but I hope everything in his life is ok and wish him well. I'm sure the staff did their best to keep him around...Still very excited for next season.
