Although it would require changing the Ivy League's 29-game
limit (which for Harvard is 27 plus the Beanpot), and probably the
ECAC's 32-game one as well. A 16-team ECAC would probably have to be
in two divisions.
But I don't think I've heard any sign that the ECAC is
interested in expanding, especially with the formation of the MAAC.
