Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a school has to be a Division I
school to reap any monetary rewards.  In other words, Lowell, for example,
a Division II school that plays Division I hockey, would receive zilch if
they won the entire tourney (just an example, kids).  Florida
International, on the other hand, the 64th seed in the orange-ball
tourney, will receive cash just for being named to the field!!
