Well, I committed a two-base error regarding Notre Dame's scholarships.  I
should have typed 12.5 (not 2.5), but as it turns out 12.5 would have also
been incorrect.
(My thanks to Keith, Mike M. and Mike Burger for pointing this out to me.)
 
Mike B. mentioned to me that ND was required to have 13.5 scholarships for
admittance to the CCHA.  I would be interested in knowing the various
conference minimums, and the actual number given at each school if someone
has this information compiled already.
 
As for Notre Dame's schedule, it was pointed out that ND probably had little
to do with scheduling these off-campus games because they are the away team
at each of them.  This raises an interesting question: If Team A is hosting
Team B and wants to move the game from their usual home arena, how does this
happen?  Does Team A make the decision?  Does Team B have any input?  What
is the conference's involvement?
 
I defer to someone in the know.  (I.e., "Help".)
