Mike is implying here that a team wouldn't want to spend 3 of its
non-league games at one tournament. For WCHA teams, it would be
impossible: they only have 2 non-league games left.
 
Last year someone suggessted a WCHA-CCHA pre-season tournament (like
two conferences -- I can't remember who -- do in basketball). Can't be
done, for the same reason (unless there is some NC$$ loophole for this
kind of thing....)
