Hey, we're doing our part at IU--I've  begun a crusade to bring college
hockey--Division 1 style, to Indiana.  So far, we're generating good
response.  We've got a pretty good club team, although, like UK (we
played you guys 2ice at Midnight) play at pretty absurd hours, and we
have no publicity.  Oh, well.  I must agree with you on the expansion of
the tourney--esp. if we are going to grow as a sport, and the expansion
of the sport in general.  As the game's popularity spreads into the
basketball-crazed South and Midwest, may we continue to add varsity
programs at major institutions.  I *know* we'd draw about 5-6000 per
game at Indiana.
