There is a reason why most of us type in NC$$.  This is an organization that
couldn't care less about fair competition or rewarding merit.  Lowell got
shafted, and I agree with Mike that the NC$$, not the committee, is where
the responsibility lies.  I'm glad that we hockey fans at least explore
the issues involved in this.  It amazes me as a UConn basketball fan that
the issue of moving top teams out of their region is not even discussed
for hoops, the idea of moving teams is a nonfactor, of course attendance
issues are not the same for basketball.
