Re: Hockey Expansion
How many schools can afford a "hockey only" ice facility? Because that's what you have to have if team is going to practice there and play there, whenever they want to/need to. Most schools with an arena either have a multipurpose facility (hockey, basketball, volleyball, concerts, commencements, etc.) or they play in some municipal facility used for the very same things. If it's multipurpose, it has to be a two rink facility (which is what UNO is nearing the completion of and is what Penn State built as well). You can't play or practice when the arena is set-up for basketball.
Almost NO school in the entire country is in "true" Title IX compliance (which includes the University of Nebraska who endows a fair number more men's athletic scholarships than it does women's athletic scholarships):

I'd like to see a list of schools that are women's athletic scholarship-heavy. I bet they are few and far between and I'd go so far as to say that no Power 5 conference school (read: schools with D-1 football) can make that claim without even looking to see if I am right. Not a one, I bet. Can anyone refute this? I reserve the right to be wrong but I bet I'm not.
