The NCAA won't grant an autobid to the Ivies now, but perhaps they should.
With a six team league in place, and reports the the tournament will expand
to 16 teams, this may be the time for the ECAC to break up.  The MAAC and
CHA autobids have forced the NCAA's hand in expansion, but the Ivy is a
long-established association with a tremendous history.  And with all the
criticism the ECAC has taken lately, splitting off for the purpous of an
autobid looks mighty attractive.

What the hey... even though the NCAA has failed yet again to grant an
autobid
to the Ivy League :-)

TEAM             W  L  T  Pts  GF  GA

Dartmouth        4  1  1   9   26  18
Cornell          4  2  1   9   23  14
Harvard          4  3  1   9   27  25
Yale             2  3  1   7   18  15
Princeton        2  4  0   6    8  20
Brown            2  5  0   6   15  25

Dartmouth controls its own destiny for the undisputed Ivy title, and Cornell
controls its own destiny for a share of the Ivy title.  Everybody else needs
help; in some cases a LOT of help.  Yes, Brown can still win a share of the
Ivy title, but the scenario is so complicated (and ridiculous) that I'd
rather
not get into it...
