Whoa! Is this the usual cut the NC$$ takes for tournaments in other sports (eg. the basketball Final Four) or is hockey getting shafted once again? Getting the first $400,000 and then getting 80% after the next $150,000 goes to the organizers seems like an unreasonable amount seeing as how the organizers do most of the work and shoulder much of the financial liability. -- Dave [log in to unmask] Cornell '91 OSU Med '95 Let's Go Red!
