They have to add something on the women's side because of title IX, and I thought they announced hockey as the choice?

It's women's lacrosse, rowing, or field hockey as the title IX balance team. Nothing specific has come out in that realm yet. Lacrosse and rowing were the two mention in the original announcement and field hockey I've heard has also come up.

Unless there has been an announcement I missed, the last I heard was ASU was exploring which women's sport to add. That being said, I would expect they would select a less expensive sport than women's hockey.

ASU will play at Lake Superior State. But why worry about facts in your posts.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
I believe we will also be going to the Kendall Classic in Anchorage. So we will be going to both areas but not necessarily going to be in a conference with Alaskan teams.

SCSU has 4 NCAA wins thank you very much...
Forgot about their runs in 2013 and 2014. I just remembered that at the time of begging... I mean acceptance into the NCHC, both schools combined for just one NCAA win.SunDevilBob

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Schedule hasn't been released, just a couple of leaks. I think Minnesota-Duluth, Wisconsin, and Michigan are the other games known.

If ASU really thinks they are going to join the Big Ten, they clearly didn't do their homework.
I am glad ASU is adding hockey, but I already don't like their attitudes. Seriously, they are already saying they are too good for Alaska teams? They think they should be in the Big Ten? it's as if ASU already thinks college hockey's survival depends on them.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Everything the Big Ten does is based on grand strategic plan with wide reaching member benefits. Each member is evaluated on its impact on the overall national brand, NCAA leading network, top rate academics, and unique CIC agreements. Only one school ever has been invited as a special case, John Hopkins. What did it take for JHU to join? The creation of a new Lacrosse league for the conference for starters. But a bit more about JHU from wiki...it's the first research university in the Western Hemisphere and one of the founding members of the American Association of Universities, Johns Hopkins has ranked among the world’s top universities throughout its history. The National Science Foundation has ranked the university #1 among U.S. academic institutions in total science, medical, and engineering research and development spending for 31 consecutive years. Johns Hopkins is also ranked #12 in the U.S. News and World Report undergraduate program rankings for 2014 and was ranked 11th in the U.S. News and World Report Best Global University Rankings of 2014, outranking Princeton University, Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, and Cornell University. Over the course of almost 140 years, 36 Nobel Prize winners have been affiliated with Johns Hopkins (the first was U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, who received his Ph.D. in history and political science from the university). And with the CIC, the potential of this for the B1G is significant and signals what it takes to get into the conference.
I would bet large sums of money that no hockey school will be invited on its own...not North Dakota, not Denver, and not ASU.

Who from ASU said they "should be in the Big Ten." Did someone in an official position actually say that, or did someone allude to exploring the possibility? Or was it merely fan or blogger speculation. I haven't seen anything remotely looking like attitude from Arizona State.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Believe me I know. I argued all of these points Ad Nauseam when the announcement was first made. I would not believe it myself if I had not heard it from several sources with some amount of authority on the matter within the past month.
Neither of those is what I've been saying. In terms of the Alaskan teams and the WCHA, the team would not pick them if given the choice of them or either the Big Ten or NCHC. On the subject of the Big 10 I simply have meant to say that from what I have heard is that the Big Ten has reached out to ASU in consideration that the team may join. Nothing guaranteed at all.
In other news UNO's Jake Montgomery has announced that he will be transfering to ASU, he will start playing in the 2016-2017 season as a redshirt sophomore.

And ASU tends to lead yearly lists of Party schools and hot girls as students rankings. Given all the grief that they took for letting Nebraska into the Big Ten and CIC, its a cold day in Hell before the Big Ten would take them in, even if its just a hockey only deal.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Most party school rankings in the past 5 years will have ASU behind some or all of Illinois, Wisconsin, Penn State, Iowa, and Indiana, Iowa was actually #1 a year or two back. I doubt that a party school reputation would be the reason especially as the school really only stays on the rankings because of the reputation it built in the 90s. Plenty of other reasons the Big10 wouldn't pick up ASU but that isn't one.
