Continuing a thread from the Clarkson board
 
a)  I thought you had to be a conference for 2 years before the NCAA
allowed you to enter the tourny.
 
b)  2001 would be the IHA's 2nd year, but the MAAC's third.
 
c)  If we still have a 12 team NCAA tournament, we get the following
bids:
 
2  ECAC
2  HEA
2 CCHA
2 WCHA
1 MAAC
1 IHA
-------
10 teams already in.  That leaves *2* at-large bids.  Assuming the tourny
does not expand, do we get rid of the "CC" (RS champ auto bid) and
"Clarkson" ( RS + tourny = bye) rules?  There will be some very good
teams not invited to the big skate.  Conceivably a 2nd place team that
bows out in the quarterfinals could be left @ home.
