Who says you can't re-live the glory of the 1965-66 Big Red?

Thanks, Mark. Could you find a 66-67 season game for us instead?
Interesting that the current bid price is higher than any of the other sports games he's selling. College hockey fans are real nuts, I guess.
(Now, just how much is this thing worth to me?)

It's worth it to me, but I've never used eBay before and am always a little hesitant about these things.

I've used it within the NY area, but the transaction I completed was for cash in person. I wouldn't send a check and then be stuck with nothing but my dick in my hand.

FWIW, I've had nothing but good experiences with eBay over the course of two very successful years both buying and selling, and that's over 200 transactions total.

Well, I went for it and held the high bid for approximately 5 minutes. Somebody wants it for more ($61) than I am willing to pay for it.

Must be a Clarkson fan. Big ECAC year for them.

Doesn't get any bigger in Clarkson's history. That was one of the three times Tech has been runnerup for the NCAA title, losing that year to Michigan State in Minneapolis.
The four year increments ('62, '66, '70) in appearances in the final has now stretched to a "Red Sox-like" 33 years !

Yeah, but we would have gone to NCAA's in '66 as well except for a little NCAA problem. It wasn't a real violation, as I remember it it had something to do with not giving the NCAA our athlete's grades or something. As you can see I don't really remember, and I'm too lazy to get out my old hockey boxes (actually with the construction at my house, I can't get to them easily). Al, can you help out?
Anyway thanks for thinking of us.

NCAA/Ivy imbroglio

It was an NCAA/Ivy dispute of some sort. All Ivy teams were banned from NCAA tournaments that year, as I recall. Something to do with Ivy standards being higher than what the NCAA was looking for anyway, so the Ivies weren't going to go along with whatever it was the NCAA wanted from them. Nothing to do with Cornell in particular. BU and Clarkson were locks for the NCAA final four as Cornell and Brown were the other ECAC semifinalists, IIRC.
Interesting that NCAA champ Michigan State beat BU 2-1 in the 1966 semis, whereas Cornell had beaten them 8-1 in the ECAC semis the week before. And people complain about "regionalization" of the regionals.

Yeah, now I remember some of it. The NCAA was setting up some academic criteria that athletes had to meet. The Ivys complained that their criteria were already more stringent and they wouldn't release their data to meet the NCAA standards. Thus the NCAA wouldn't let them participate.
Thanks and if I can ever get to it I'll look up more. Now back to ebay.

Thanks guys. That's interesting history. Looks like the NCAA hasn't gotten any more sensible in the way they deal with some issues after all these years.

I wonder how that dispute was resolved, since the Ivies obviously participated in the NCAA's the following year...

May recollection is hazy, but wasn't it something like the NCAA passed a rule saying you needed a 1.7 average the previous semester to maintaine eligibility, and the Ivies thought that was bull as how do you equate a 1.7 at _____ with a 1.7 at ______ . I'll be polite and let others have fun filling in those blanks.

Aww come on. I was starting to like UNH. They have nothing but praise for us this entire week.
How about,
1st blank: Harvard (Can you even try to get a 1.7?)
2nd blank: Cornell

I'm guessing you can but you'll probably still graduate with honors.
