Following Mr. Forsyth's posting (sorry, don't know how to lift passages yet), I think the day the NC$$ does something 'for the good of college hockey' is about the same time hell will freeze over. I used to think the NC$$ was a not-for-profit organization, but with the way the NC$$ handles its respective championships and its marketing practices, this is a falsehood. This latest NC$$ 'sleight of hand' trickery is an outrage. Not everyone can make it to Providence, and the NC$$ had a prime opportunity to give college hockey the recognition and publicity it deserves. With this announcement this morning that TV coverage has been dropped, I cannot help but think that the NC$$ is driven solely by what my economics professor would refer to as 'profit maximization.' What a shame. College hockey deserves better than this. --Sid
