      I'm glad we agree.

        Sounds like UAA then.

          I predict one other PAC 12 team will add hockey and with ASU will join the NCHC.

          A few years later, four more PAC 12 teams will add hockey and the two PAC 12 teams will leave the NCHC to form the PAC 12 hockey conference. The haves of the NCHC will throw a hissy fit and leave the NCHC have-nots to form a super super super hockey conference they brand as the Intergalactic Collegiate Hockey Conference.

          When the new ICHC can't get Duke to add hockey and join the ICHC, they invite previously uninvited St. Cloud State who had released a statement saying they wanted nothing to do with the ICHC. SCSU accepts the invitation instantaneously saying, "You had us at 'Hello.'"

                  Well that's quite the stretch. Oceanside seats 500 people and the few games I went to two years ago were far from sell outs.

                      We're having enough troubles with the other 11 teams there now, thank you very much. We don't need another Arizona State embarrassing us.

                        All this speculation here about all these "other" schools potentially adding D-1 hockey just make me shake my head.

                        There are two huge albatrosses over the head of any school contemplating this.

                        Title IX, and, a place to play, which also includes a place to practice as well. If you build, or, are using a public multipurpose facility to play in, you might not be able to practice in your own building, unless it has two ice sheets.

                        Endowing men's hockey scholarships, one for one with women at your school means if you are adding men's hockey, you are adding new women's sports as well to keep things equal. Plus, you are going to have to build a dual rink facility to play in if one is not already available to you and you are going to have to build facilities for whatever women's' sports you have to add because you added men's hockey.

                        I note with interest that ASU officials have said today that they have already identified women's sports additions there that they are looking at adding, because, they are going to have to do it to add men's hockey.

                        Just how many schools have the money or resources to do this? It can't be easy and there can't be many or we'd have more than the 59 (soon to be 60, I guess) schools we now having playing men's D-1 hockey.

                              I am neither a Michigan Tech alumnus nor a fan. Sorry a little tongue-in-cheek post was lost to your presumptuous airs.
