That is what I'm saying, but whether I am correct or not... always
problematic. I was under the impression that when Notre Dame reentered the
CCHA, when Mankato entered the WCHA, and now with UNO's plans to enter the
WCHA, in each case there was a probation period in which they were not
eligible for NCAA post-season berths. Then again, I do not remember any
discussion of such with Union or UMass-Amherst.
It's possible that this might only be true for the teams in the perhaps
specious new Div. I league.
Or that it's all an Easy Cheese and Twizzlers hallucination (don't ask...)
