Whoa!  Is this the usual cut the NC$$ takes for tournaments in other sports
(eg. the basketball Final Four) or is hockey getting shafted once again?
Getting the first $400,000 and then getting 80% after the next $150,000 goes to
the organizers seems like an unreasonable amount seeing as how the organizers
do most of the work and shoulder much of the financial liability.

"I'm ambivalent" --OSU coach Jerry Welsh. Yes, he was talking about the
NCAA limit on assistants, but it may be the epitaph for the OSU hockey program.
