   Maine has not lost any "points", but almost assuredly will.  Since
   Maine probably won't dispute they played with an ineligible player in
   3 early season games with Providence College (all wins for Maine) and
   since the NCAA probably will officially rule the player (Jeff Tory)
   ineligible, the NCAA will ask Maine for forfeit those games.  If
   asked, Maine will forfeit them.  Since NCAA always asks a team to
   forfeit games where an ineligible player plays, they *will* ask.
   Don't look for it this week, but eventually (this season), it will
   happen, IMHO.
