but there's more to it then that. That's just one aspect, the academic part is also huge and you have him going to a team that was top 10 ranked last year which often means they recruit well which means they need to have space for him as they don't want their top talent to not have enough playing time since once they are on the team there's no place to send them down to so if they can't get in the lineup then they just sit around watching. Northeastern has several incoming Freshman blueliners so perhaps they thought he wouldn't be ready on the academic side but I haven't heard why they wanted him for next year other then I know he had to take summer classes in order to get accepted this Fall.
"Academic part".... !!! Yeah, sure. Every kids going to College in the USA and being involved in their sports team is a "genius".... You know darn well it's a business. TV rights, sponsorships, etc... Huge $$$ making machine. Their best athletes will get a degree no matter what.
