Keep in mind that Manhattanville has one of the better (lower-level) D1 ice hockey teams competing in D3.  :P

You mean Drew is taking the low road and going to an open admissions policy like many other schools in this division?
Perhaps, again like many, they're doing this in an effort to get their enrollment up? I also heard the cost to go there may have dwindled the student population quite a bit.
Also, name one school that doesn't slide athletes in the backdoor. Unfortunately, some abuse their right and do it more than others, that's all.

Pat/Anyone,

Any word on who will join the Interstate Eight since they only have seven?  Rumors say Elizabethtown or Lycoming but those are just rumors, didn't know if anyone else heard anything more solid? What would another loss do to the MAC? Is Interstate Eight their official name and do they have a website or posted nay news anywhere recently?

The only place Lyco is going is to the MAC Commonwealth. Rumors about an E-town defection were circulating a month or so ago, but then were, I'm told, scotched by the E-town officials.

Etown was pursuing the I-8 pretty strongly, from all I heard. In March it was apparently all but a done deal. Don't know where we stand now.

The conference does not have a name yet. It is hiring a full-time commissioner. I have not made myself a candidate. :)

Who do I send the application and resume to?  I need a new job.

Yes, reputable sources said this in March. Then, supposedly, the E-town president, when queried, said that E-town had not been invited, but if an invitation were given, the institution would give it very serious consideration.

In sum, does anyone know what the hell is going on?

I'm guessing they need ot add the eighth soon and since Pat typically gets the scoop, we'll have to stat yune din the ocming months! That could be a tough blow if they lose E-town but the MAC would easily be able to add members from neighboring conferences. Thanks for the inof Pat and Warren, you guys are top notch!

Pat, did you add Babelfish to the Posting Up software?

Completely off-topic, Bill, great picture of Churchill.

Greg, I believe the translation is "stay tuned in the coming months."

Good, because the last time I ordered stat yune din at a Szechwan restaurant, I had heartburn for a month.

To be fair, though, I love Ocming Dynasty art, especially the jade dragon figurines.

I read that Chesnut Hill is going D 2. What league? Yes CJ i know Chesnut Hill is the team that beat Scranton at Scranton. Aren't they a private school? Would be my last choice to be moving to D1 or D2...weird..

What D2 league for Chestnut Hill? That's a mystery, so far. And, yes, they are private (Roman Catholic), formerly a women's institution in suburban Philly.

Why are they apparently intending to move down to D2? That's another mystery.
