According to Dr. Cartwright, we should hear something definite at the end of August when the feasibility study (to gage the fundraising interest) is done. That is what she told the alumni players who were here for the HOGO on Saturday. She also mentioned that SHE paid for that study to be done. I found that information very encouraging!!

Alright! It's not every day that a university president shells out that kind of money out of pocket for such a study. Can we PLEASE finally put to rest this speculation that Cartwright has been scheming since day one to cut BG Hockey once results are announced?

Tell me this, did it come out of her pocket or one of her budget accounts? BIG difference.

Knowing how universities work it really isn't that big of a difference. An administrator isn't going to spend budget money on something they don't feel is important especially in the current economy. There are a lot of programs that are not being adequately funded across the board and the fact that she is willing to spend money on this (her own or her budget) tells me that she wants the team to survive.

That she was there at all, would be something I take to be a good sign. She didn't have to be there, and if she wanted to send passive-aggressive ideas that the program was doomed, staying home would have done that.

That was our feeling as well. Jack Vivian asked her to be there and she was. This says volumes about, not only about Jack's credibility with her, but also that she was willing to put herself in the position that not many university presidents would ever do.
