TRUCE!!! I am close to the situation, and obviously frustrated by it; sometimes typing finger(s) lets off too much steam...

Change of pace...Has there ever been thoughts of NEWMAC teams playing against another NE conference ala Big10/SEC challenge? I realize the schools already play each other throughout the season, but maybe a triple header(have to leave 1 team out each year) in a central or rotating venue could be exciting, and draw some crowds that do not normally go to games.(alumni with kids, etc.) Too much planning to pull this off?

Pat, I responded to someone who said he heard from a "good source" once removed that a player was overweight, out of shape and had a bad attitude. If that is not true, why is it an axe to grind? I did not start the conversation, but I guess you would rather hear from someone who knows someone who knows someone else! BTW, this NEWMAC board is so lame and quiet compared to others you should want more people posting !

Votta got cut from the babson team he came in overwieght and out of shape and i also heard he had a bad attitude. My highschool coache used to coach at Babson so that is a good and accrurate source.

Your source is wrong. He was the strongest guard on the team in preseason. Despite injuries to knees and feet, and missing the 1st week, dominated the starting PG in practice. With above mentioned injuries, was cut before the 1st scrimmage (after 5 days)  because Babson coach decided to bring in transfers and freshmen and go in different direction. Would not have looked too good to see him do well. None have stepped up.
Fact is, he was not recruited to Babson, he went there for academics. The coach there is playing his "boys" as he has relationships with the HS coaches in MA. Look at last  years stats in the turnover category. Both played the same minutes, yet current PG had double the TO's. (44 vs. 110!)
This year, without Votta to bail him out, he is at 41 TOs in 8 games--on pace for 135 TO's.
Bad attitude? No, tired of double standard as certain players can miss practice and have GPA's under 2.0 yet they can run the show.
Brennan is on the hot seat with a new AD on board, and hopefully changes will be made. Votta is not the fastest or quickest, but ask Sean Kelly who was one of his toughest opponents. I obviously have a vested interest, but hate to see comments from 3rd or 4th parties without all the facts.
