I can't see mankato getting into the WCHA because there is an uneven number of teams which means that you wont get to play every team 4 times. I could see it if NDSU get to go Div 1 like they want to and If BSU goes Div one (talk around Bemidji is that they may go Div l in 1997) They could have a east and west Divsion, however then you will have the discussion of weak teams and schedules like CC goes throught every year. I think allowing them into the WCHA or the CCHA would weaken the league. *************************************************************************** *Eric J.
