I again ask my favorite question: who's complaining, really?
 
Are any of the players ever speaking up about the NCAA, either while in
college or after leaving? Coaches complain, but seemingly only about the
tournament process. And as Cathy suggested, the NCAA is made up of member
schools' athletic administrators, correct?
 
All I know is that as a student and now alumni, I've been treated to over
10 years of thrilling college hockey, both in person and on TV. We've seen
brilliant young players who have continuted on to thrive in the pros and
brilliant young students that have skated with them stride for stride.
 
And perhaps best of all, the Frozen Four tournaments. There are a number of
NCAA sports (soccer, for example) that have significantly more teams and
fans that don't enjoy such a "big deal" affair in a different location
every year.
 
I'm not suggesting that the NCAA is without problems. But what governing
body is?
