    Odd they did not mention the other universities. Funny the claim of a good club team means anything.

      So just what is/are the unknown(s) that apparently must be studied in great detail, beyond how to come up with enough $$$$ to endow a program, build a venue, and buy your way out of Title IX?

        Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

          Anybody remember the University of Illinois - Chicago (UIC) Flames?
          I went often when I lived in Milwaukee.
          It would be great if the University of Illinois
          was in a position to have a D1 team.

            Less competition in hockey. Maybe?

              Is this directed at me or just the forum as a whole?

                The collective "you." Not you personally. And BTW, the bottom line emanating from the so-called big announcement was, without using the exact words, money and Title IX.

                    I don't believe anybody is under the illusion with this announcement. Most of us take it with a grain of salt.

                        At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                          Who's got the $$$??? P5 schools most likely. Pac-12 would be interesting. Would give ASU some company.

                            My money is on UNLV, youth hockey is exploding, season tickets are sold out for the Golden Knights, air conditioning lol.
                            Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.

                              MAC schools don't have a pot to **** in. Every one of them is already taking millions of dollars per year to subsidize money losing athletic departments. Unless the NHL is going to pull a Pegula and fully fund the program at a MAC school, it's not going to happen.

                              Same deal with UNLV. That's one of the most money losing ADs in the country. Where are they going to come up with the money to fund men's and women's hockey?

                                Sorry but youth hockey and pro hockey have little relevance to expanding college hockey. If anything look around Chicago and nearby more.
