In state tuition at Michigan runs about 7000 a year + 8000-9000 for residency. That still does not add up to $100 000 over four years. The CHL also invests heavily into their players including paying the full cost of tuition and residency for many of its former players.
sehnsucht, yes Leopold has done well thus far and I expect his progress to continue. He is still to young to say that he has had a good NHL career but I am sure that he will after such a promising start. According to Jovanovski though a comparable CHL player would not be at the same level as the college trained Leopold because the CHL just doesn't develop and train to the degree that college does. Well it might shock Mr Jovanovski to note that Regehr is the same age as Leopold but has been playing in the league twice as long and is considered by many to be not only the Flames best Dman but one of the better ones in all of the NHL. Just another tidbit that further discredits Jovanovski's theory of the NCAA being so much better.
No one cares about in-state tuitions. Of course if you were an in-state Michigan citizen, the tuition would be cheaper. But if you were an American or Canadian wanting to attend a top NCAA school it would cost around $30,000 per year. Please use facts and don't distort the truth. Of course it would be cheaper for in-state students anywhere. Usually schools, because they are subsidized by the state-government, has tuition for in-state students at around $5,000 - $10,000. Other students (most students) without financial aid packages or scholarships have to front around $30,000 per year for the tuitions.
