On the thread of getting more TV exposure for "our" game, it dawned on me is what some of us want is just more TV games! Some of us are not located where we can go to live games regularly (or at all :-)) ..... I, for one, think it will be a warm day in Hades if west coast or southern universities add teams, between expense, travel, and gender equity issues, as we talked about last summer, I think that is a dead issue for the forseeable future. I must agree with Ralph Baer. I am not sure I would trade expansion for more TV games. I think expansion into the big universities would mean the Clarksons, RPIs, LSSUs, etc, would be dead. There is no way they can recruit with them. The little guys barely hold there own now (over the long term, of course, there are occasional anomalies!). This may be a moot question, but I would not like to see expansion at the expense of losing the DIII schools that play hockey at the DI level. These schools have a rich hockey tradition, and college hockey is one of the few sports I know of where the little guys get to play the Big guys fairly even up (yes RPI did lose to Minnesota 3-0, you can't win em all.) I find it fun to be able that RPI plays schools like that and I think college hockey would miss a big piece of what makes it fun if the sport really went big time. Of course, IMHO, that would lead to all kinds of abuse like we see in big time basketball and football, but let us not get into that again! Tony Buffa RPI '64
