This is from the 1992 National Collegiate Championships Men's Ice Hockey
Handbook.  The "Drug Testing" section appears to answer the question of
team sanctions (see the "i.e.") and mirrors what Bill stated and what I
mentioned to Bri by mail.  I included some other stuff that was even remotely
related so you can see the policies on eligibility.  Definitions of
eligibility itself are in the NC$$ manual which I don't have.  - mike
 
p.30 "Certification-of-Eligibility/Availability"
------------------------------------------------
Only student-athletes eligible under Bylaws 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 may compete
in NC$$ championships.  Institutions must notify the NC$$ national office
before the selection date for each championship of any student-athlete who
may have participated in regular-season competition but subsequently is
determined to be ineligible or unavailable for NC$$ championships competition.
 
DISCOVERY OF INELIGIBILITY OF PLAYER AFTER SELECTION.  When an institution
fails to report an ineligible player and the omission is not
discovered until after the institution is selected to participate in the
championship, necessitating the institution's withdrawal from the
championship, that withdrawal shall be considered as one of the years of
ineligibility, provided another member institution participates in the
championship in place of the disqualified institution.  If the discovery of
the ineligible student-athlete(s) occurs so near the beginning of the
championship that the governing sports committee does not have a reasonable
period of time to replace the disqualified institution in the bracket, that
fact shall be taken into consideration in determining the number of years
the disqualified institution shall be ineligible to participate.
 
p.34 "Drug Testing"
-------------------
INDIVIDUAL ELIGIBILITY - TEAM SANCTIONS.  Executive regulations pertaining to
team-eligibility sanctions for positive tests resulting from the NC$$ drug-
testing program shall apply only in the following situation: If a student-
athlete is declared ineligible prior to an NC$$ team championship or a
certified postseason football game and the institution knowingly allows him or
her to participate, all team-ineligibility sanctions shall apply (i.e. the
team shall be required to forfeit its awards and any net receipts it may have
earned and the team's and student-athlete's performances shall be deleted from
NC$$ records).
 
p.35 "Eligibility"
------------------
PROTESTS.  Any team that has been duly certified as eligible for an NC$$
championship or any student-athlete duly certified by the institution for an
NC$$ championship shall not be withheld from participation because of any
protest made or filed during the process of the competition or during the
24 hours immediately preceding the beginning of the championship.  If there
is a break in the continuity of the championship (e.g., between rounds of a
basketball tournament) when no competition is being conducted, a team or the
student-athlete may be withheld from further competition in the championship,
provided the protest is made or filed at least 24 hours in advance of the
beginning of the next segment of the championship.
 
AMATEURISM.  If requested by the NC$$ Executive Committee, a student-athlete
who participates in a National Collegiate Championship must sign an affidavit
certifying the student-athlete's amateur standing under the provisions of
NC$$ Bylaws 2.6 and 12.  The affidavit will be administered by the chair of
the games committee and taken on a form prescribed by the Executive Committee.
If the student-athlete fails or refuses to complete the affidavit fully and
properly, the student-athlete may not be certified for participation in the
championship.
