    They do not; they do have most of the other common sports (basketball, soccer, baseball/softball, etc.)

      Obviously, you’d combine Oakland and the MACtion schools with the (already never happening) UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay and a resurgent UIC to form the MACHorizon Hockey League.

        I'd call a league with those teams the CCHA...

          I was ignoring UB (and Stony Brook, Binghamton and Albany ftm) because they do not currently play NCAA hockey, but I did know they are a SUNY school.
          Can't we all just get along?
          Always remember... This is just a game we're talking about here. Let's not take it all too seriously.

            yeah, yeah and there will never be a Big Ten hockey league.

                I was adamant about it too. The Big Ten was just waiting for that 6th team and then on to the bank with the $$$.

                  Not to beat the dead horse, since obviously expansion is such a regular discussion (to the point where it’s almost an eye roll topic on the USCHO and CHN podcasts), but:

                  Atlantic Hockey commish was on the USCHO podcast yesterday, and said that they’re aggressively pursuing a 12th member. No details beyond that (could be discussions with anyone from Syracuse to the NE10 D-II schools to Hawaii for all I know), but worth acknowledging.

                    For me it was more about how glorious it would be for the world. As far as I can tell so far the breakapart hasn't gone awesome for anybody... particularly the B10 set. I guess under that theory the NCHC has been the winner but nobody would have thought thatd happen but it's kinda funny

                    But yeah... my issue with LEB was his insistence that it would lead to a deeper psychic connection of humanity and allow us to plant an American flag on Io or Europa. Further the greater glories of the B10... hasn't worked out there chief, has it?

                      Nope. Moreover. I really do hope IL joins the icebox it would help give more slots to Minnesotans who want to play D1 hockey.

                        Well, Frozen Four Weekend has come and gone, and with it the opportunity for Illinois to announce establishment of a program--or at least significant progress--on a big media stage. This kabuki dance has gone on so long that Macbeth (Act II Scene 1) comes to mind:
                        "Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.".

                          Correct me if I'm wrong but PSU or ASU didn't announce it during the Frozen Four. IMO, that's a horrible time.

                            ASU announced in November of ‘14.

                            PSU announced (officially) in September of ‘10.

                              Au contraire. Frozen Four weekend is about much more than three hockey games. The attention of the entire college hockey world is focused not only on the games but also all the other things that go with it. No better platform for making an announcement as significant as the launching of a new D1 program.

                                Assuming, of course, that the incoming schools understand this, which they probably don't.
