Currently teams play each other twice per season in a home-and-home format. The proposed third game each year would have alternated home sites between the teams.<\/p>\n<p>Athletic directors from the ECAC West schools were meeting last week in their annual conference. Only four of the six schools had representatives attend.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the teams that were counting on the proposal being adopted, must now scramble to fill in those five games with non-league contests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it is time that the ECAC stepped in and took a little bit more interest in our league,&#8221; said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. &#8220;Just because our league dropped to four teams a few years back doesn&#8217;t mean we were dead. They abandoned us, in my opinion, so we&#8217;re trying to put the onus back on them.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major proposal to have teams play each other three times per season starting in 2003-2004 was struck down by ECAC West athletic directors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":140328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
