[NU Sports] Frozen Four

Tue Apr 15 14:10:49 CDT 2008

With the country in a recession, the dollar tanking against world currencies, inflation (especially food) surging higher and oil in the neighborhood of $115 a barrel, we should probably be talking sports contraction.? The transportation costs for 2008-2009 will be substantially higher than this year.? Attendance (in the sports that anybody bothers to attend) figures to be even worse, with $4.00 gas and huge mark-ups on airline tickets.

And are we going to see $6 cold hot dogs in stale buns at Dyche ?

Chuck Herron?? Tech '85

I suggested 2 women's sports figure skating and sychronized skating.  

There is already a club synchro team and that is 13 females and with a half 
dozen figure skaters you would have a good size male hockey team.

We did have a female club hockey team for a while, but I think they have 
disbanded as we have not heard further from them.

I would love to see club triathlon become a varsity sport as this is my personal 
passion, but the north is awful for college triathlon.  Chicago tri season 
starts in late may and the season is at its height in late July.

And the moment NU establishes a men's hockey team, they will have to add a 
woman's varsity sport for balance.
