Re: Illinois Fighting Illini Hockey is back
Boy, chalk this up to yet another silly rumor going nowhere.
In the past few years, there's been a rash of "this school might go D-I" threads, that it's getting kind of tiresome.

... help me remember more. I know we've seen a bunch of these.

I believe either Kepler or DisplacedCornellian once posted a template for these sorts of threads. The only one that hasn't followed the mold is the one on Penn State.

SCHOOL RUMORED (Source)
Illinois (Let's Play Hockey and CollegeHockey.info tweet)
Eastern Illinois (self-tweeted)
Iowa State (Let's Play Hockey tweet, online article)
Buffalo (Bowling Green paper)
Minnesota State-Moorhead (actually pursued)
Colorado State (online article)
Kennesaw State (multiple online articles)
Lindenwood (multiple online articles)
Liberty (online article)
Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Milwaukee paper)
Akron (online article)
Am I missing any?
Here is an article from two days ago quoting Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas.
Not exactly the words of an athletic director about to announce a new varsity sport.

Re: Illinois Fighting Illini Hockey is back
Did you people really think a school as big as Illinois would announce a varsity hockey team and NO ONE would have heard any rumors about it beforehand?
This is why this messageboard is the most entertaining on the Internet.

I guess you could also include any of the usual "what if" rumblings you find on this board, where people wonder about Navy, Syracuse, Rhode Island and Penn/Columbia.
Not that I can think of. I think the UW-M one actually was included in a feasibility study (more accurately, one that said "no freaking way" when it was filed).

Re: Illinois Fighting Illini Hockey is back
ok, we're talking about schools that have expressed interest or have had rumors about interest... I know every thread seems to be a chucklehead thread nowadays, but really.

Wait, why would the University of Illinois start a hockey team in New Jersey?
