I'm not trying to incite any Woog arguments here, but I'm curious about
something. Let's say I'm a top Division I hockey recruit from outside of
Minnesota and I want to play at Minnesota. If Doug Woog won't allow me to
even walk-on, is he guilty of discrimination in this world of political-
correctness-gone-haywire that we live in?
Since it's unlikely that a top recruit would walk-on somewhere, let's change
it to Joe Q. Public from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Joe has always dreamed of
being a Gopher and he'd like to try to make the team as a walk-on. Is he
allowed? If not, does he have a case?
As I said, I'm just curious what a situation like this would bring about.
Would denying someone the opportunity to play at a certain University because
of where he/she is from be likened to denying someone because of their ethnic
background, religious beliefs, etc.? I hope not, but then again, you never
know when you live in a country where someone can sue McDonald's because
their coffee is too hot.
Just stretching for something to talk about in the offseason,
Chuck
--My take on the whole Minnesota recruiting thing is that there's no other
state that could do it and be as successful. But, at the same time, I
think it holds them back from being the best that they can be. The best 20
players in North America do not come from Minnesota each year.
