According to this morning's Star-Tribune, the NCAA is looking into a payment of $500 Doug Woog made to Chris McAlpine after the 1993-94 season. It was apparently to help McAlpine finish school. The timing of the payment mentioned in the brief article was after McAlpine had used all of his eligibility. I have no idea what this would mean about its propriety, if that was the case. The University had no comment. J. Michael Neal HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
