Its all about money- BU  or  Cornell [not to single them out]could care less
about Canada or Canadians unless the Canadians can bring glory (ie Yankee
dollars) into the athletic coffers. Every single school (not just the state
schools) receive federal tax dollars- Princeton which doesn't necesssarily
like to acknowledge it is in New Jersey actually has the audacity to receive
tax dollars from the tax payers of New Jersey. Local players always will bring
out local crowds and nothing breeds success like success. Say what you want
about the Gophers- they do it the right way.
