I asked Erik if he could send me a list of the Badgers that would have to sit out the Wisconsin game vs Miami and he was nice enough to dig-up Carol's post from last April. From this morning's Star Tribune in the "Briefly" section of sports section. The NC$$ has banned Wisconsin hockey coach Jeff Sauer and two players from the Badgers' next NC$$ tournament game becuase of conduct after this year's championship. Assistant Bill Zito, who was involved in a fracas with a referee, was banned from the next two NC$$ tournaments in any capacity for any institution, the NC$$ ruled in a report released Wednesday by the University of Wisconsin. In addition to Sauer, players Blaine Moore and Jason Zent were suspended from the Badgers' next NC$$ tournament game. "They threw the book at us," Sauer said from Marco Island, Fla., where he was attending WCHA meetings. Wisconsin athletic director Pat Richter has appealed the sanctions, which also order the school to forfeit about $50,000. it would have received for expenses during the championships at Albany, N.Y. The penalties arose from a fracas at the end of the penalty-strewn game won 5-3 by Lake Superior State. The university issued its own sanctions last week, which included a reprimand for Sauer and regular-season game suspensions for Zent, Moore and Maco Balcovec. The sanctions also called for Zito to issue a public apology and repay travel and lodging expenses. (end of quoted material) Scott
