My guess is that all the players would like it for an away series in the middle of winter. The school accountants would not like it.

They could ask Shannon Miller for a nice donation as a way of supporting the growth of the women's game! She can afford it after winning that lawsuit and it would show that she's not totally selfish, and it might even gain her some positive reputation points from some of her haters.

She could even pay them to have her coach the team.

Possible scenarios for snowbird flights to ASU can’t compete with the much more satisfying fantasy of imagining the first recruit to make the trip from Warroad to Flatbush Avenue.

I wouldn't be shocked if LIU-Brooklyn goes for Shannon Miller. She has the resume. She would have access to NYC and media if she wants to try and break in as a sports or feminist pundit kind of role. It could make sense, especially if LIU-Brooklyn wants to make noise.

A weekend in Arizona in December/January? There may be a few takers.... I'd sign up for that!

So....if they are playing DI..in the NEWHA division, there will be 6 teams in 2019-20. would that make this league eligible for an auto-bid to the NCAA? less room for mistakes (BC) in the league tourney.

Grant - here we go again!!!! :)

Short answer - no, because the NCAA will look at the whole (over my dead) body of work when considering a bid for the Alliance.

Um I sure would lol

Is there that much difference in cost flying to Minnesota versus flying to Arizona? Especially if you're on a charter.

I would imagine you would see a lot of schools pair up to fly out there, especially if you could get a second school in the area (UA) to start a program. It would definitely work.

Rainman could answer this one: "About $100." Also, a couple more hours each way.
 
Re: Report: LIU-Brooklyn adding D-I women's hockey for 2019-20

The issue would be that no one can get to Tempe without flying. Most teams are only looking to fill 5-6 games, max, with teams that can't bus. An Arizona State team would need to do this for their whole schedule, as well as flying to every game they play. Not only would there own travel be a lot more expensive, I'd bet that they'd have to do what the Alaska schools do on the men's side, and cover some of their visiting opponents' travel costs in order to have a full schedule.
