[QUOTE="Putz ND, post: 47082, member: 1031"] I have never understood the "don't punish the athletes" argument for bailing on the name to begin with. Last I checked, it was their personal choice to attend the university to begin with . . . right?!?! Granted, those that were there as the sanctions would have been put in place may have gotten the shaft to some degree, but as for everyone else - its their choice to attend and participate. They would have been fully aware of what they were getting into. With a premier hockey program complete with years of tradition and success, I couldn't imagine an athlete passing on the opportunity to play for the SIOUX. When Hakstol came out and said it was time for the name to go he was thinking of all this post-season hype and trying to win a national title, ect, ect. We all know how that worked out, now don't we?! No name and still NO titles - good thing we jumped ship. [/QUOTE]
