Re: University of Akron possibly in discussions to move to D1 varsity
You're kidding yourself if you think that four programs are going to materialize from the ether. It's no small commitment at the Division I level.

Well, having a few new schools coming online that would lead to a more positive breakup of a hockey league would be a good thing. If a CCHA 2.0 could start up and thin out the WCHA 2.0, Atlantic Hockey, and the NACHO, that would leave a lot of the country covered by the footprints of college hockey leagues. The NACHO could look at about any school in the Pacific Northwest, would think they would seriously entertain UBC coming in there if only to keep the Thunderbirds out of the WCHA 2.0. The WCHA 2.0 would have a few others schools near them that would give them another warm body to play. Iowa State comes to mind, but I would think they would have to fend off the NACHO to get them in. A school like Oakland University could be fought over by the NACHO, CCHA 2.0, and WCHA 2.0. Would be a little bit of a reach for the NACHO, but they might like to help keep schools from the other two leagues from recuiting in the Oakland County area.
