Interesting article from CHN:

Atlantic Hockey shoots down proposal to up scholarship limit

Could this lead to a possible breakup of Atlantic Hockey...

A break up, or at least realignment along scholly/non-scholly lines, has been rumored for years.

I'm not sure this is going to be an event that triggers it. A 7-5 vote pretty much means only one more team needs to be convinced, and I'm not sure a split benefits either side at this juncture.

Not unless there's another league willing to take them in. The only teams I see jumping ship, if and only if the CCHA would take them, are Niagara, Robert Morris, and MAYBE Mercyhurst (though probably not). RIT can't offer scholarships so they aren't affected, Air Force wants to stay with Army, and the others don't really have the drive to offer up the full 18, and were probably the reasoning for 12.

They gain an AQ.

However, at the expense of losing at-large potential. 2007 is the last time that no ivies made it into the tournament, although 2008 was the last time (prior to this past year) a non-ivy represented the ECAC in the tournament. Since 2007, an ivy has won the ECAC championship.

Sadly? What do the other conference members stand to gain by losing Cornell, Yale, and (formerly) Harvard? Princeton is starting to make a little noise, too.

"Sadly" regards to a matter of personal opinion.

Awful. This is just awful. You're on a real losing streak lately, DUDE.

"Sadly" regards to a matter of personal opinion. I am not so naïve and realize, though, that the ivy presence strengthens the league from several different standpoints.

You think the ivies will break off? Sadly, I don't see any reason.

Hasn't that been speculated about since about the same time as the BTHC, or perhaps even longer??

College Hockey News has this bit: http://www.collegehockeynews.com/new...range_days.php

Only thing I disagree with is the ECAC.

Seems to work in Scandanvia; high employment, secondary education graduation and literacy rates, good health care and low crime rates, but maybe they have a process that keeps jackwagons like you out of the country.

Ummm.... Blond motivation squads??

I give a perfect honest opinion and you come back like a little baby with attitude. Good grief.

Your response had just as much attitude as mine, don't sit here and take a shot at me and then put on your halo. Besides, I didn't wanna get into a political debate with you anyway, I was just pointing out to Mr. Palin that his shot at me for being from Bachmann's district was way off-base since I was only there for school.

Then you can give me half of your pay check and we will call it good. This way I don't have to work and get health care while you work your tail off. This sounds great.
