I think it's a fair concern/critique. If an FBS comes along with $550k for PSU/ISU/NAU to play them instead, we'd better be getting at least $250k to buy a Pioneer squad.
Montana is coming to GF first, but yeah I noticed that as well for the PSU, ISU, and NAU games. Guessing we were at a bit of a disadvantage in negotiating as these 3 teams seem to have no reservations about just filling their schedules with D2s.
One thing to help with this issue, if you see a Schloss article on women's hockey, don't click on it. Similar to a McFeely column, he knows he can get a lot of clicks just from people upset about him writing the garbage to begin with.
Has Blaisdell and Pinto going in the 2nd round, Caulfield sneaking into the 3rd.
For comparison purposes, we've had 2 forward recruits drafted in the first 3 rounds come in over the past 3 years, and 1 of them left after 1 year.
