You could do a book on what has happened to the news business. But I think ownership if huge. No local ownership. Trying to squeeze every dollar out of the paper to pay inflated values. And extremely slow reaction to a changing business Climate.

I agree. And not only is there very little local ownership, most papers are now part of large corporations where these days the bottom profit line is much more important than what gets reported. And often the profits get taken away from the local paper and very little is reinvested into the newspaper itself.

They still haven’t figured out how to make money. The print newspaper business is dead. Has been for years. So they set up websites with paywalls or use online ads or both. Basically trying to put Google Google is a losing game. The advertising driven model is a disaster and leads to horrible, biased content. More entertainment than news. The internet is pretty simple, free stuff is not free.

Suggestion: sell articles cheap using Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal. I live in MA, I am never going to subscribe to the Courant or Register, but I would pay 25 cents a Borges article. Has to be small numbers so that paying is worth even the five minute effort to find it free. They used to sell whole papers for not much more. Same for the big papers, WaPo, NYT, LA Times etc. If the only option you give me is subscribe or find a way around the paywall, I’m doing the latter every time.

Dang. Those three teams are going to get shellacked the final few weeks of the season if they balance out the schedule.
 
Bad news for a hot UMass team. But at least we won’t be forced into playing them again in the near future.

This is great... Coach Cavanaugh and these young men have 100% earned this ranking! CONGRATULATIONS GENTLEMEN!!!

On the flip side, the fact we are ranked below Providence... and Robert Morris... and still Northeastern? HELLO... we kicked their fannies on Friday, at their place.

Seriously, I call BS.

Otherwise... it is awesome though. :cool:

So proud of this team! And frankly, I think we have a shot to turn this into a special year. The way we have played against BC in all 4 games shows that we can stand toe to toe with anyone/everyone in the country. We can be very dangerous over the next 2 months. Very dangerous, indeed.

Such an exciting step for the guys and the program. I hope these kids don't get cocky and have a letdown. Chance for another quality win tomorrow and we need to keep working the way they did against NU. Build on it. Bring it every night.

Couldn't agree with this more! No letdowns. I think after last year's ending (covid), they won't take it for granted. Congrats to Coach Cav and the boys!

So when you sometimes see the 2 numbers listed like #2/#3 next to the team name that's the USCHO and the USA Today?
