Mike (and our list) -
 
In response to your post, and the (surprising) question -- unless it is
sarcasm, here goes:
 
Mike's question:
 
What was the scandal that took place around the UNH program?
 
My first post:
>
>Five students at the University of New Hampshire, including three members
>of the hockey team, have been charged in an altercation.

>Jayme Filipowicz, Dan Enders and forward Corey-Joe Ficek were charged with

>Athletic Director Judy Ray said she and hockey coach Dick Umile will

>Can someone explain how this story got shoved under the rug for "a few

>What about sanctions / suspensions / discipline ?
 
The long interval between the police event, the filing of charges, and the
first story in Foster's Daily Democrat, seemed strange to me.  And the
matter is still unresolved.
 
See the relevant Foster's article at:

We all know that if it were Maine players in similar situations, they would
have been pilloried.  New Hampshire got a pass.
