Well, geez . . . if you want to follow that logic, then how far do we extend it?
Let's see since Michigan is a member of the bigger 10, and of the CCHA, the
rules apply to both the Big 10 conference teams at the campus AND the CCHA
conference teams on the campus . . . or does it extend further? The bigger
10 is imposing their will over a conference they supposedly have no control
over . . . namely the CCHA. So now, does the CCHA have to follow the bigger10
rules? Does that extend to the OTHER CCHA teams? and then to the other
conferences that THEY are members of??
Already you say that one conference has extended their rules over another
in the case of the WCHA team. So how far does the 'extension' travel?
This is bad!
