The NCAA title game is Saturday, April 13, which seems late. This year it was April 7.

If I'm not mistaken, this is because the season officially starts on October 1st (for non-Ivy schools) and has a fixed length.  This past season, there were 28 weekends between the weekend of Saturday October 1st and the weekend of Saturday April 7th (i.e. the Frozen Four), inclusive.  This coming season, there will be 28 weekends between the weekend of Saturday October 6th (i.e. the first weekend after the start of the season on October 1st) and the weekend of Saturday, April 13th (i.e. the Frozen Four), inclusive.

I just checked Colgate site and they list us as 11/2 @ Starr and 11/3 @ Lynah.

Wowie.  Can never recall us opening the conference slate with the 'Gate pair, ever.

If you're driving to Hamilton on clear roads, are you really driving to Hamilton?

The roads will still be blocked by hobos with Colgate degrees who couldn't get jobs.

The NCAA title game is Saturday, April 13, which seems late. This year it was April 7. But the NCAA basketball title game is also pushing back, to April 8, 2013; this year it was April 2. In checking dates, I found this item from Wikipedia about basketball. Can't tell if it's oddly written or just business as usual with the NCAA: "This year will also mark the 75th edition of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament (the actual 75th anniversary will come a year later)." Edition vs. anniversary?

If this Sunday  you held the First Annual Bill Howard Invitational Cribbage Championship, next year's would be the second "edition" held on the first anniversary  of the inaugural.

But if Tostitos decided to buy naming rights to the event then would it still be the 75th anniversary or would it be the "First Tostitos NCAA Championship"?

Makes sense, if anyone would be lured to a hockey game solely because of free pizza it'd be hobos.

You assume that Tostitos won't buy into the Cribbage tournament?**]

More on topic, when did the hockey finals morph into "The Frozen Four"?  I'm sure they weren't called that back when Harkness brought the tournament to Troy.

I wondered this too. The NCAA provides a historical timeline of the tournament. The timeline states:

1999   The NCAA Division I hockey final round officially takes the name "Men's Frozen Four." Worcester's Centrum Centre hosts a regional record single-session crowd of 12,517.

Note that the name was in use in HOCKEY-L circles for several years before that, but we generally preferred "Phinal Phour".

And sometimes "Phrozen Phour."

The t-shirt I bought in Anaheim in 1999 is the only one I have that merely states "NCAA Hockey Championship," while there is a logo on my 2001 t-shirt from Albany that says "Frozen Four" in addition to the text that reads "Division I Championship." That was also the last year that was held in a non-NHL arena (excluding Ford Field).

I think there is a difference when the corporate brand is inherently part of the name as compared to when it is merely designated as the key sponsor in the name ( "presented by" ). So, the Rose Bowl does not prove the point necessarily. However, the "Allstate Sugar Bowl" was dubbed the 78th Sugar Bowl in 2012, and we all know that Allstate was not the key sponsor when it was established in 1935.

I feel the need to assert how much I hate such flagrant corporate sponsorship, especially in naming rights, of college venues and events.

I agree, but how else are coaches supposed to make those millions.

Doesn't this disprove your thesis so clearly that one wonders why you bothered typing at all? The corporate sponsors know exactly what they are doing: they are latching onto the coattails of an event with history, not creating something new. Your distinction is pedantic. The Rose Bowl is the only one with enough pride and sense of history to make sure that "Rose" is the first word out of the announcer's mouth, but otherwise there is no difference.

Ferris State posted its 2012-13 schedule recently. Cornell will play Ferris State in the first game in Estero, FL. I am not sure if we had determined the pairings yet.
