In response to Todd Myrick's post inquiring about schools that are D-I in hockey only, I thought I'd break down the East to the best of my knowledge. ECAC: RPI, Clarkson, SLU, Union: D-I Hockey only, D-III everything else (unless Union has made progress in upgrading football?) Harvard, Cornell, Brown, Princeton, Yale, Vermont, Dartmouth, Colgate: D-I in everything (I'm pretty sure). Hockey East: Maine, BU, BC, UNH, UMass, Northeastern: D-I everything (I-AA in football is still D-I, as is NAC basketball) Providence: I know they're D-I in Hockey and B-ball, but I admit to having no clue about other sports. UM-Lowell, Merrimack: D-I in hockey only. The WCHA thing has me thinking (dangerous): How about getting the ECAC three more league games per team by going to divisions (three against divisional foes, two against all others)? Geographical rivals could play their third game at a neutral site, i.e. Harvard/Brown at the Fleet Center, RPI/Union in the Knick (this one is already planned as a non-league game anyway). A few more bucks for the coffers, and slightly better looking records at the end of the season (Western teams always seem to have played an average of six to eight more games than eastern ones). Maybe even a new playoff format (division championships with the winners facing off in a double elimination round, or something). Crazy, I know. My divisions: The LeClair Division, or The Great White North (By far the toughest this year): UVM, Clarkson, SLU, Dartmouth The Oates Division (OK, OK, maybe the Dryden Division; or an RPI-Cornell comprimise, the Harkness Division): Cornell, RPI, Colgate, Union The Donato Division/Hobey Baker Division: Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton Granted, there wouldn't have been much balance this year, but over time I think these would be fair. I know it's a moot point since it would never happen, but why do ECAC teams play fewer games than everyone else?
