this exchange has taken place> for several years now, during NCECA season.=
The stay-at-home exchange> offers those not going to NCECA a chance to exc=
hange a mug or other clay> object with another person who's staying at home=
. I've participated in> the exchange for the last four or five years and al=
ways look forward to it.> > If you are going to Pittsburgh for NCECA in Mar=
ch, read no further. But> if NCECA 2008 is not in your plans, please read t=
he rules below. We=92d> love to have you in the exchange! You have from now=

ur lucky> exchange partner=92s disappointment over not being able to go to =
NCECA.> > DATES:> > Sign-up period--now through the end of February, 2008. =
Cups exchanged> with partners: March 19 - 22, 2008> > RULES:> > 1. This exc=

Those who do attend NCECA will have plenty of fun at the> conference.> > 2.=
While the exchange has at times been called a cup exchange, if you=92re> n=

you with the same partner you had last year.> > 4. As soon as you receive t=
