This is a story that will go up on US College Hockey Online later this
evening, I thought I would throw this out for discussion:
 
     BATH, Maine -- A state representative to the Maine legislature plans to
introduce a resolution asking the University of Maine to fire suspended ice
hockey coach Shawn Walsh, who is slated to return to coaching on Dec. 24
after serving a one-year suspension, according to the Associated Press Dec. 13.
 
     Rep. Art Mayo, a University of Maine graduate and financial backer, has
reportedly been bothered ever since the university chose to suspend Walsh,
rather than fire him in December of 1995.
 
     According to the AP, Mayo's resolution states that the NCAA described
Walsh's role as "a violation of the provisions of ethical conduct".  Mayo's
resolution goes on to state that it does not "reflect well on the integrity
of the university's athletic programs or the overall mission of the
University of Maine.
 
     Mayo reportedly has told the AP that it is unclear whether or not his
resolution will be debated.
