To your point, Coach May:
Uncorroborated rumor has it that the NCAA is studying the efficacy (their term) of forming a Blue Ribbon Committee that will be charged with the task of determining how to best go about mandating the fair and equitable distribution of hockey programs among member institutions. Measures to be considered for legislation include, but are not limited to:
(1) Mandating the construction of ice arenas at all member institutions; early completion deadline to be required of all member institutions located south of the 38th parallel.
(2) Requiring that all member institutions north of the 38th parallel dedicate 1/2 of their regular season schedule to competition against member institutions located south of the 38th parallel.
(3) Lengthening or shortening the regular season so as to ensure equitable participation among all member institutions, regardless of location.
(4) Changing the regular season's start or completion dates so as to ensure equitable participation among all member institutions, regardless of location.
(5) Mandating the number of away games played during the regular season, with extra RPI points to be given to teams south of the 38th parallel that travel to play member institutions located north of the 38th parallel.
(6) Requiring at least half of all post-season tournaments to be played at member institutions located south of the 38th parallel.
(7) Raising the Minimum Allowable Temperature (M.A.T.)of the ice at all member institution arenas, so as to ensure conformity of ice temperature at all arenas, regardless of location.
In its Press Release, the NCAA is thought to have given the following reassurance to all college hockey fans, present and future:
"With the creation of yet another Blue Ribbon Committee and the legislative recommendations we expect to come from it, we are confident that we can bring geographic parity to a sport that, heretofore, has resisted parity through natural means. In the process, we will continue to make progress toward one of our over-arching goals: to eliminate all climatic discrimination in collegiate athletics."
