(#459) All 64: Previewing Air Force, Canisius, and Mercyhurst

Plus: The NCAA considering making the fifth year permanent, eliminating the national letter of intent, and other rule changes that could impact CHL players

Today’s issue continues my All 64 season preview, looking at the teams I have ranked 48-50 in my preseason rankings. This issue looks at Canisius, Mercyhurst, and Air Force.

Also in this issue.

The NCAA is considering several rule changes, including permanently granting a fifth year of eligibility and eliminating the National Letter of Intent.

- Other rule changes could directly impact the future eligibility of CHL players and might signal eligibility for those players sooner rather than later.

- We’ll learn more about the NCAA v. House settlement tomorrow during a hearing with the judge in the case.
