This has been sort of pointed out by some posts, but just to clarify: The University at Buffalo is a Div. I school, and does not play in the SUNYAC. Its focus is on football and basketball. I believe they have a club hockey team (or did), but there's never been a peep locally that they would field an NCAA hockey team. Buffalo State College is a Div. III school, and plays in the SUNYAC. There's not been a single word about their moving to Div. I -- and given the sorry finances of the SUNY system these days, I'd think the likelihood of such approaches absolute zero. Sounds to me as though the original writer of the newspaper story was confusing some of the SUNY university campuses (Buffalo, Albany, etc.) with the SUNY colleges (Buffalo State, Fredonia, Plattsburgh, etc.). --------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Stephen E.
