Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
How about posting even a single link that buttresses this statement?
When I type "largest colleges and universities" into Google, ASU isn't #1 in a single list I found.

I first started with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_university_campuses_by_enrollment#cite_note-5
And then looked up the places where they got the info (you know sometimes you can't trust Wikipedia) there were 48 Reference notes that were above reproach since they came from non Wikipedia sources.
There are online schools and brick & mortar, online schools that have a larger enrollments but with traditional brick, mortar and Ivy universities ASU has been #1 for a few years.
Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Sorry, but you are completely out of your gourd.
From the NCAA, itself:
http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources...athletics-expenses-outpaces-revenue-increases
Only 20 FBS teams made money on football in 2013.
Secondly, "The District at ASU" involves far more land than just the golf course you mentioned:
http://www.thedistrictatasu.com/
And, the stated primary purpose of establishing this "district" is to improve existing facilities since they seem to be having a hard time finding the money to do this any other way. That makes me even more skeptical that officials are going to be falling all over themselves, anytime soon, to build what will probably need to be at least a 90 million dollar hockey facility. The biggest stated purpose of taking this approach is to facilitate the replacing Sun Devil Stadium, which the article says is currently suffering from over 80 million dollars of deferred maintenance needs! If you can't even maintain what you already have, where is all this money coming from to build a hockey arena?

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Please outline to us all how a "new rink" could possibly be in place by October of this year, when the new hockey season starts, which is also when ASU is going D-1.
Inquiring minds are just dying to know.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Not single one of these links purports ASU to have the largest enrollment of all U.S. colleges and universities.
I must be missing something here.

Ok Red you caught me I only gave the Readers Digest version of the district. Much like politics you have to read between the lines.
But I think you lost your Murder of crows (no need for a gourd here).
Don't drink The Kool aid, as most NCAA reports are, it is written to sound good, BTW the HOCKEY Donation was $32 million
BTW Red where do you come from? I live 2 min from ASU's Tempe Campus and 7 min (if the lights are against me) from OceanSide Ice Arena. It is called Oceanside because it is next door to Big Surf (designated as an ASME Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, First inland surfing facility in North America)
Yes just read the reports and do the math
ASU 62,599
UCF 60,810
OSU 42791
BTW I do have to say this is the stupidest argument I have seen in a while what are you a frustrated Social Studies teacher This is not a term paper, if you don't believe my figures look for yourself I don't know how you are missing the figures I use google too. You believe what you want to believe I'll believe the figures I got from a S___ load of research I did before you questioned it. I have better things to do then argue with some nitpicker
BTW ASU Won tonight 7-2 so they may still be the #1 CLUB team when the ACHA ranking come out later tonight or tomorrow.
I have seen a bunch, A lot at DIII
Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Uh, O.K.
Your eloquence, as well as your excellently supported rationale and "facts", have overwhelmed me and I will therefore slink away in shame.

Point of information it is $12 ticket at ASU
Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
In northern Arizona they built an arena for $36 million multipurpose facility located in Prescott Valley, Arizona. The arena seats approximately 5,100 for hockey,
The costs can be trimmed down from $90 Million
The Hockey team ceased operations this year but it did prove an arena could be built (just in the wrong place) for less.

I don't think it could be built that quickly but money does funny things
Wait a minute I don't see it that way (wait it is time for my pills I am 63) but when I was a student I could say it was a true statement.
Phoenix Is a Hub for a couple of Airlines (ASU is in the flight pattern for Sky harbor Airport) It will be an easy trip for any team 20 min bus ride. NAU was not easy to get to once you landed in Phoenix, (According to Ron White, Geese fly faster to Flagstaff) it is a 155 mile bus trip up hill and it isn't any faster coming back.
Back in the Day every Football team wanted to play Hawaii when they were an independent they never had problems filling in home games. So I do not think ASU will have any problems getting games.
