    The mascot will send you pictures of his droppings, or if you give more than $25 he'll send you the actual droppings themselves.

              Yes, the CCHA could have handled this better, but the case isn't closed yet. The second part of your quote is pure subjective opinion. The CCHA doesn't owe anyone an explanation other than the parties involved and certainly hasn't made any disparaging comments about the UAH program to insinuate that the league is above their program. (Let's ignore economics as a legit reason.) Wasn't that the perception when the W told UNO to "wait" ten years ago?

              And it appears that the only USCHOers (outside of the UAH contingent) that seems bothered are in the two western leagues affected, predominantly the WCHA, aka "the not-so-humble yet charitable, we're better than you but soon to be watered down, college hockey savior league".

              Is that a short enough post for you, Handy?

                    I take it that UAH is inviting the AD's of all of the CCHA Schools down to play a little on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail while making sure that there's a few Southern Belles around on the course in skimpy outfits??

                    Yeah, but in a few years, the African kid is just going to try to pull some online scam on you.

                      African children know what computers are? Much less using them to pull an elaborate online scheme? I find that hard to believe.

                        Since the Nigerian bank scam had been prevalent many years via mail before the internet became widely available, it was probably one of the first on-line scams. I suggest though that this whole line of talk-radio Rush-Limbaugh-like subtle/not-so-subtle supremacist posts is more appropriate elsewhere. I've supported both UAH hockey and children in Thailand and India for the past thirty years. Every time I provide dollars to UAH hockey though, I have to wrestle with the morality of donating anything to an athletic program when the same money would be better used by a needy child who did not have the same fortune of birth that I/we had.

                          That's like saying that Air Force Academy belongs in Atlantic Hockey?

                          And, there is no other league for UAH to fit into right now except the CCHA.

                          The WCHA did something about the issue, the CCHA did not. You can argue in every thread on the board till your blue in the face and it won't change those simple facts.

                            The Air Force Academy CHOOSES to be in Atlantic Hockey. Or they probably would have gotten the invite in lieu of UNO.

                              It is a complete lack of respect to UAH and College Hockey in general. All I know is that according to some leagues and coaches that they want these ACHA teams like Iowa State and Penn State to move up to NCAA Div. 1 since teams like Wayne State, Findlay, Fairfield, and Iona have dropped their programs which had decent and competitive NCAA Div. 1 programs are now facing the real possibility of losing two great programs which the USCHO has reported on the last few months with UAH and Bowling Green. When is enough enough? They should be looking to help cultivate these programs finding solutions to strengthen them and not causing them and giving schools an easy out by saying they would save a ton of money by dropping them.
