I've mentioned this before but not this season :-)  Perhaps it is time
for the Ivies to go off into the corner and be by themselves with their
holier than thou attitude.  IMO (no H here since I'm addressing this
topic) the HE/ECAC split was caused by just this issue of number of games
played.  The Ivies are the tail that wags the dog.  The operative rule
should be NC$$ guidelines.  The travel issue for Niagara is another topic
entirely, but if the Ivies want their own rules, let them play in their
own league.
 
I'm even more fed up than I sound.
