Interesting artcle in USCHO, by Adam Wodon, who contributes to this list. http://www.uscollegehockey.com/news/2000/04/13_expansion.html Some interesting tidbits: - Looks bad for expansion - If there's one thing that drives the NCAA even more than $$, it's politics - Expanding to 16 teams would generate about $236,000 in revenue for the NCAA - Men's hockey is the second largest revenue generator of the NCAA tournaments, trailing only squeakball (but Adam, I assume that's not counting the football bowl games as a "tournament," correct?). - The MAAC is going to get an autobid next year. That wasn't my understanding. As Adam says in his article, that makes expansion all the more urgent.
