Actually, this came up at the "Forum" at CBI Nationals, and
was met with a flat out _no_ from the Company, with
the essential point of the reasoning, as I recall
being that CBI and HSASC are two seperate entities, and
should not be seen as interchangable.
If I could
find my notes from the forum (they are stowed
somewhere in one of these boxes), I can assure you that the
main point of the dialogue, the main thing that I took
away from the forum (which was in my email notes) is
that:
"Though any HBCU can play in an invitational, the five
members of the school's HCASC squad for that academic
year cannot play on that team."
This is only
what I can recall from a 90-minute forum that happened
four months ago, but I am pretty sure that this
statment was accurate to what was said at this
time.
If anyone else who was there recalls this
differently, please correct me.
