Re: NCAA Hockey Administrators to western fans: Drop Dead
It won't happen. The votes aren't there.
You have to look at it this way. Of the 60 teams, easily 30 of them have no shot whatsoever of hosting, certainly not if only the top four seeds host, and probably not even if we were to let the top 8 seeds host the first round. For those 30 teams, the one time a generation they make the tournament, the last thing they want to do is play a game on the road against a higher seed. They want a single elimination tournament in as neutral a site as possible.
Another 10 programs have little or no shot at all of hosting. They want that same puncher's chance. That's 40 of 60 votes.
