Now that USA Today is into the act, I thought an update on the UConn
     situation might be of interest.
 
     Last Thursday the Development Director for UConn athletics (I don't
     remember his name) was interviewed on WTIC's (home of the Whalers and
     UConn sports) Sportstalk show.  He provided some good news for hockey
     fans.....the plans have been finalized to enclose the rink.  I was in
     a rush to get to the airport so my memory is a little hazy on the
     starting time but I think it is next summer.
 
     When asked about joining HE, he indicated that nothing was going on
     for the forseeable term.....but left open the possibility further down
     the road (and specifically mentioned both HE and the ECAC as
     possibilities).
 
     My analysis - they'd love to go up but with a recent report indicating
     that they are still out of Title IX compliance it won't occur in this
     decade.
