in reply to Mike's question about why teams jumped from the WCHA to the CCHA:
I only remember bits and pieces, I know the offical line was to reduce
travel costs - but I remember a stir caused by an off-the-cuff comment
from (as I remember it) a coach of AD from Mich. to the effect that
they would have a better chance of getting an automatic bid in the CCHA
then they stood if they stayed in the WCHA. Does anybody have verification
on that? I could be wrong, or it could have been his idea of a joke, or
it could have be Scud Hartman made the whole thing up - at the time I
only had access to WCHA town papers.
More interesting, to me, is the fact that they claimed to be starting
a league that was "less powerful" then what was then the big 2. I
don't recall a coach ever admitting something like that. It also seems
they have done a fairly decent job of "moving up" 8-{>

we don't all start doing a better job of it we may crash & burn!
