Regarding Title IX: One solution that works for some Eastern schools is to have a womens' hockey program as well. Unfortunately, there is not as much interest in womens' hockey (I went to Cornell, and as far as I know hardly anyone went to the womens' games), so it would be unlikely to become a revenue-generator anytime soon. Perhaps the situation at schools with more dominant womens' teams is different, though. -- Mike Long [log in to unmask] VLSI Design Engineer Analog Devices, SPD Division Norwood, MA 02062 USA assert(*this!=opinionof(Analog));
