BTW, the winner of the NCAA tourney will get an alternate Belt because Cornell won't be defending. The two existing alternates, held by UW and BU, should be absorbed into it. Also the winner of the ECAC tourney will get an alternate ECAC Belt.

Why hasn't Cornell been stripped of the Belt? Generally, champions that are either injured/refuse to defend, are stripped of their belts. Or am I missing something?

I thought about doing that, but we didn't strip WMU of the Michigan belt when they did not play any other Michigan teams when the NCHC was founded.

Interesting. Of course, I highly doubt it was WMU's choice that they did not play any other Michigan teams (and of course, could have played Michigan teams in tournament play).

Hopefully the Belt doesn't end up in the hands of a team that drops hockey. They'll have it forever. ; )
