Several of the CHA and AH teams were previously D-2 programs that played
some of the premier D-3 teams fairly regularly.  Someone might want to
go back and see how they did, maybe that would answer some questions.  My 
sense is that in years in which those old D-2 programs would have been 
good enough to win a conference of comparable teams, they had strong 
records against the premier D-3  teams.  I'm not sure if those old D-2 
programs that are now playing D-1 are better or worse now than they were 
then.  They can award more scholarships, so maybe they are better now.
But maybe not all of them are using their additional scholarships, or 
maybe they aren't recruiting any better than they were before.
