Since I started this by wondering if the competitors were on the women's team, I should add that I've since been told by Adam Bryant (who was also at the game) that the two were members of the cheerleading squad, not the women's team. That makes me more impressed. :-) But I wonder if there would have been a problem if they had been players on the women's team and accepted prizes. The NC$$ does not sanction women's hockey and as far as I know, has no jurisdiction over it. I do not even know if the women players are considered NC$$ athletes. I seem to remember some different details about the incident with the track guy winning the car, but since I don't recall everything I will not start a long string of posts with incorrect speculation. The specifics are not quite relevant anyway. I think the book Undue Process covers this case but I don't have it here at work. I notice the Wisconsin folks are quick to jump in with the NC$$ regulations - you guys should know them by now. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist! Meant completely in jest. :-) --- --- Mike Machnik [log in to unmask] Cabletron Systems, Inc. *HMM* 11/13/93 <<<<< Color Voice of the (14-14-2) Merrimack Warriors WCCM 800 AM >>>>>
