Thanks for your comment Jim Love. Yes, hockey is considered to be an olympic sport at N.D. Yes, we will pay what Kent State paid to the CCHA. Tha t is of course, if and when we join. All I can tell you in that regard is that I 'm encouraged. We do seem to have the support of our A.D. and that's half the battle. I certainly will report any developments. Concerning endowment ...I doubt very much that they willtouch it for a long time, for hockey or any other sport. It is indeed a rainy day fund and our forecast is only for some clouds and perhaps a shower or two. Concerning our ambitious plans, yes to a degree it is, but it also makes good business sense. For a few dollars more i.e. scholarships we stand to generate a whole lot more dollars to offset our costs. Say nothing about providing our students a healthy sporting outlet during the Indiana winter. Believe me, that is a topic often discussed. We would very much like to be that "outlet."
