        I can't see mankato getting into the WCHA because there is an
uneven number of teams which means that you wont get to play every team 4
times. I could see it if NDSU get to go Div 1 like they want to and If
BSU goes Div one (talk around Bemidji is that they may go Div l in 1997)
They could have a east and west Divsion, however then you will have the
discussion of weak teams and schedules like CC goes throught every year.
I think allowing them into the WCHA or the CCHA would weaken the league.
