    I didn't want to start a new thread, but there appears to be a "2010 Men's Ice Hockey Survey from NCAA and USCHO.com" being e-mailed on behalf the USCHO, I for one refused to answer "The name of the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship" as the "Frozen Four", because as a DIII hockey fan, that is NOT the name.

      I got the same email. Where they had spaces for comments I said "what about DIII"?

        So, if one were to think creatively, we can assume this permits the application of frosting on the cinnamon buns that are already on top of the pink bunnies?

        So long as it's for safety, of course...
        “You drive by some of these rinks in the winter and there isn't anybody out there. It's kind of sad, actually...Here it’s go to the rink, pay for your ice time and practice for an hour where we could just walk to the rink and skate for four hours if we wanted to...It was just a lot of fun. I wish I could go back and be eight years old for a couple days" -Neal Broten

          That's what I was thinking - of course, the hockey frosting can only be applied at schools that own their facilities, unless, of course, the rented facilities hire the coaches to part time jobs watching the ice (So long as it's for safety, of course...)

              More from the NCAA:

              "The Division III Presidents Council recently approved a two-year pilot program to collect data from volunteering institutions for use in exploring the possibility of calculating graduation and academic-success rates for student-athletes."
              "Debra Townsley said Nichols College will participate in the pilot program to learn from it, but “our participation doesn’t mean we agree” that Division III should collect academic data."

                2010 NCAA Convention Division III Legislative Proposals

                This "Question and Answer Guide" provides the most in depth clarification/descriptions I have seen on the passed proposals. IMO, particularly proposal 7 "ELIGIBILITY -- SEASONS OF PARTICIPATION -- HARDSHIP WAIVER – PERCENT CALCULATION."

                Also of potential interest: “Follow your passions and discover your potential.”
                The Presidents Council’s incoming chair, Jim Harris of Widener University, pledged resources to help in that work, noting that the lion’s share of a proposed $1.2 million expenditure for platform activation will go directly to campuses in the form of $1,000 annual allocations to purchase materials. Division III also will allocate $100,000 annually to national activation of the platform.
                This too: Student-athlete fund-raising prompts debate
                The committee’s proposal makes distinctions between types of activities that would and would not be permitted. It supported earmarking funds raised by a student-athlete from “volunteering or working a fund-raising activity,” listing examples such as working concessions or ticket booths or serving as an usher at an athletics event. It also specified activities for which earmarking would be prohibited, including selling goods, writing letters soliciting donations or participating in events featuring athletic ability.

                The Council, however, could not reach a consensus on the basic question of whether it is philosophically appropriate to earmark fund-raising proceeds for individual student-athletes.

                Current legislation prohibits earmarking fund-raising proceeds for individual student-athletes, except for donations from family members. Many Council members think that remains the simplest way to treat fund-raising.

                Members agreed, however, they would benefit from membership feedback given the increasing importance of fund-raising activities in a challenging economic climate. They will seek input this week in such forums as conference meetings, the Division III Commissioners Association meeting and a joint breakfast involving members of the Division III Presidents Council, Management Council and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
                Note on above: DIII student-athlete fund-raising rule remains unchanged
                Member conferences that support a change in the rule could propose legislation for consideration at the 2011 Convention in San Antonio, Texas.
                Changing topics from the proposals, there is this:
                Academic reporting gets a look in DIII
                The panel also included two university leaders, including a college president who doubts the value of compiling student-athlete academic data beyond campuses. Debra Townsley said Nichols College will participate in the pilot program to learn from it, but “our participation doesn’t mean we agree” that Division III should collect academic data.
