Why no issue with the travel for these student athletes?

ESPN money ... Where's Dickie V now?

You don't get to be de la Salle without rich boosters. That program has more money than most Ivy League athletic departments.

Disappointing game. Plenty of speed and talent on both sides and both schools go around the country, beating the best teams in each section. It was decided by turnovers. De La Salle had 4 of them and it produced 20 points of Aquinas, who won 30-6. ZZZZzzzz.

Do we still have any kind of pipeline to Aquinas or is that kaput?

So was De La Salle in California. That's what made the game interesting. It would have been a good game without the turnovers.

I think Aquinas is probably similar.
