Women's ice hockey isn't very physical. The reason every girl I ever coached in youth hockey got a d1 scholarship. They played with the boys and played full contact hockey. Transitioning to the women's game was easy for them.

It's different, but it's watchable for me.

I heard he was gone a long time ago.

Can't fault anyone for going to Yale.

It definitely wasn't the reason Trpcic transferred.

No, according to what someone in athletics communicated to me, the required donations to purchase tickets is not deductible. There are conference and nationwide meetings of universities about what to do about this. There are some serious lobbying efforts to rescind this part of the new tax law..

I think it's whether they increase the ticket prices to include the former donation or some portion of it. When it was a donation required to buy the ticket it was deductible to you, but you still had to pay it so the the tickets were more than list price. Now they still want (and need) the $, but a portion is no longer 'subsidized' by a tax deduction if you itemized. It's a matter of prices rather than the mechanism to pay for it.

The donation required for buying tickets is not deductible under the new tax law.

I'm in the last row of yellow seats. Close to Men's room, Gold concessions right behind me, good view of field, on the aisle, comfortable seat back. It's all good.

I would assume the 1.3 was after the payments on the debt.

Takes a million to payout 40 G, which is pretty close to an out of state scholarship. They don't touch the historical amount which is the donations. When we set up a scholarship, we donated an extra amount to increase the spending amount.

83° at 11 a.m.. It'll be a hot one.

Stokes coming back will help some on that, but I really liked MacKenzie.

Track won the league every year with no good facilities. Now we have a good outdoor facility. Based upon results I guess we need somewhere to practice. If SEFCU renovation eliminates current indoor track, we'll need something.

I think the new Sports "Bar", Damien's was a nice venue for this.

Congratulations on another AE championship.

Do we even know which day our game will be?

I hear you. I've simulated a poor golf swing for many years.

If you can't buy tickets, how are they going to give yours away? Not aware of anyone holding previous year tickets having there seats given to someone else.

Do you know for a fact that Benson is doing the scheduling? I don't.

They haven't secured the simulator yet. It's still possible to contribute to that cause. Contact Casey Crandell for details.

What's the rush?

I believe it was 2 of last 3. I don't think we won in 2016. I think Quinnipiac won last year.

That doesn't bother me. It's D1 athletics. You want them, they need to be paid for. We pay for parking at football and basketball already and have all season for lacrosse. Endowments for athletic scholarships are woefully small. We want facility additions and improvements, but they cost. I am happy with the progress we've made so far, but Athletics is already overextended. They need all the revenue sources they can get.

I'm a little disappointed with "Spring Stomp". When the Alumni Association ran it, there were promotions, food deals and some contests and giveaways, Athletics took it over this year and now there's..........................a game called Spring Stomp. There is the reunion for LAX which the Alumni Association is coordinating.
