Cornell plays in the ECAC along with the rest of the Ivy League teams. They
are part of the ECAC, but also have their own set of rules to abide by and some
meaningless championship thing (sorry Cornell fans). This falls under the same
theory as to why Harvard can't join the HEA. For one school to join the Empire
Athletic Conference, all the Ivy's would, then suprise...you have the ECAC all
over again.
I like the 3 conference idea. This could bring some more meaning to the Ivy
League fight, allow for some more N/C games, and promote new real D-1 schools.
If the HEA is willing to go to a 2 game per opponent schedule, their could be a
good deal of interconference matches.

Now THIS one I like!
Since this is all hypothetical, anyway -- why would Cornell's Ivy League
affiliation prevent them from participating? They already play hockey
in the ECAC, so what's the diff?

P.S. I just joined the list yesterday -- I see you all are as desperate
for things to talk about in the off-season as I am!
