When the department made this ruling, there was a major concern that there would be a negative fallout from it.
In the U.S., the University of Minnesota uses entirely American players at their main campus and a lot of the other teams they're competing against use Canadian players. There's always the potential in this kind of ruling for them to seize on the ruling to go through the process of disqualifying Canadians from being eligible for those scholarships, which I think would be a crying shame if it ever happened. It's a tremendous benefit to the players and their families, and it's a real career thing.
