Actually, that is not 100% true. The unnamed league lets all the teams
in, and then they let in a team in that is not even a member of the
league. :-) It might be the only league in any sport with nine members
and a ten team playoff. Even the NHL and NBA are a bit envious. :-)
On a more serious note, does anyone know how many of the teams in the
MAAC are members of the MAAC in other sports? I think someone once said
that the answer is three. It seems strange that they can be treated as a
multi-sport conference while others like the CCHA aren't and they have
three Big-10 teams as well as (I think) an equal or greater number from
another conference whose name is escaping me. Perhaps the CCHA should
call themselves the Pac-10. :-)
