First, I apologize for forgetting to mention Ohio State as a Division I school
in the CCHA.
OK, to answer John Feigal's question: The NCAA collects all of its revenue
from its divisions one tournaments and the money goes into a pot which is then
distributed to division I schools only. That is how the new rule will work, to
the best of my knowledge. Since many of the schools who play division I
hockey would not qualify for division I (I think the new rule would require
a school to have at least 3 division I sports to be considered a division I
school).
For example UND plays football in division II, but even though they have a
hockey team in division I, they would not be eligible for division I monies
because hockey is there only division I sport. This is why John (Gino)
Gasparini is so mad about this whole deal. Personally I must agree. I don't
think that the NCAA sees that hockey is such a revenue sport. Perhaps if
enough people complain, the NCAA will see this and change their minds.
I hope that clears it up somewhat. If I've overlooked anything, please let
me know.
