What does it take to get the national press to more actively report college
hockey?  The game is extraordinary and the following is rabid.  It is
becoming to the NHL what college football is to the NFL.  Yet none of the
broadcast networks even mention the scores.  The Sports Machine (a/k/a The
Demolition Derby and Bullriding Machine) hardly recognizes the NHL let alone
the college game. Perhaps we (the fans of college hockey) should continue to
support the few breakthroughs like in the recent Sports Illustrated college
hockey column--however I think we should be more proactive in putting
pressure on national media to expand printed coverage and have college hockey
rundowns and highlights on radio and TV.  What think all of you?
