Actually, I had heard something about the Empire Athletic
Conference which would have Clarkson, SLU, RPI, Colgate,
Union, and Niagara.  Other possibles were UVM (almost
sure) and Elmira and Canicius (I blew the spelling, but no
caffiene yet).  Cornell was invited to join, but declined due to
the other Ivy League sports.
 
The playoff site has not been announced, but it almost certain
to be along the NY$ Thruway.
 
How's that for a story! ;)
