  • NCAA inconsistent, never

    We know the NCAA claims that the term "Frozen Four" is only allowed for DI Men's and Women's Championship rounds, but look at the following headlines fromthe NCAA's own website:

    Oswego makes return to Frozen Four
    << Men's Ice Hockey News
    Cadets Edge Plattsburgh in 3-2 OT

    Norwich makes return trip to Frozen Four
    St. Norbert goes on to Frozen Four
    Adrian scores first tournament win
    The Adrian Bulldogs staged a historic comeback with five straight goals, all at even strength, and propelled themselves into the NCAA Division III Frozen Four with a 5-3 win over Elmira.
    Interesting - the next thing we know, maybe they'll allow Poland Spring Water at the Division III Frozen Four

        Ok, this one is new to me. Why does the NCAA only allow "Frozen Four" for D-I?

              I saw this on Sunday morning when I looked at the NCAA's site.

              I found it intriguing and I'll have to remember to reference this if i slip up sometime in the near future.

                In any basketball tournament, last four teams = final four
                In any hockey tournament, last four teams = frozen four

                seems sensible to me

                      NCAA + logic = contradiction. Therefore original assumption of logic is false. QED, eom

                          NU Prof, funny you bring up the water thing which we recall from a few years ago. The PGA is just as bad. I'm not 100% sure of the brand, although I think it is Aquafina also, but at the PGA in Kohler this summer they surprisingly allowed you to carry in bottled water but if it was any brand other than their sponsor you had to rip the label off at the gate.

                            Surprising that they let you in with it. If were the PGA tour instead of the PGA of America running that you could be sure they'd play the commercial aspects of that to the hilt.

                              They were surprisingly reasonable on the water carry-in. I have an unconfirmed rumor people who tried to sneak in cameras or phones were taken out back behind the sponsor tents and shot execution style, but the water was no big deal as long as there were no conflicting labels.
