It's Time for College Hockey to Leave the NCAA

Re: It's Time for College Hockey to Leave the NCAA

Any recreational program run by a university. All the MCLA lacrosse - http://www.collegelax.us/. The new top-tier college football program a la Mark Cuban, i.e. new college bowl subdivision (still in discussion phase but don't blink - it might happen real soon).

Wait- you don't have a club hockey team? I thought everybody did. Heck, even UM has one at the Dearborn campus.

Maybe you can talk Eastern Michigan's club team to call themselves the Hurons.

let's talk about national championships in the last decade. you guys probably don't remember what winning one was like, but it used to be a big thing.

you guys probably don't remember what winning was like, but it used to be a pride thing.

wrong, dumb ***. if you think it is that easy to avoid a ******* idea like title IX, you are sadly mistaken. title IX has nothing to do with the ncaa, it is the federal government.

Sweet. Maybe The Fighting Sioux can secede from the union at the same time they secede from the NCAA?

Re: It's Time for College Hockey to Leave the NCAA

My analysis tells me the NCAA provides no value to college hockey.

Maybe you should reanalyze, then... ...while the NCAA is far from perfect, it does provide more than a 16 team tourney. Also, expand on your analysis...I would love to see how you came to this conclusion. Anything supporting your stance would have to be comical at best.

If this is about a feeble attempt to retain "Fighting Sioux", I must say that wrecking havoc on the sport as a whole to fulfill some ill-fated agenda is just plain ignorant. The sport as a whole is way more important than anyone's nickname.

Wrong. A school can remain a member of the NCAA in some sports but not in others. If you have an example of your theory being played out in reality, please provide it.

From the 2011-12 NCAA Division I Manual

3.2.4.5 Application of Rules to All Recognized Varsity Sports. The constitution, bylaws and other legislation of this Association, unless otherwise specified therein, shall apply to all teams in sports recognized by the member institution as varsity intercollegiate sports and that involve all-male teams, mixed teams of males and females, and all-female teams. To be recognized as a varsity sport, the following conditions must be met:
(a) The sport shall be one in which the Association conducts championships, except as provided in Bylaw
20.9.4.1.1 or an emerging sport for women per Bylaw 20.02.4; (Revised: 1/11/89, 1/11/94, 1/10/95,
1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)
(b) The sport officially shall have been accorded varsity status by the institution’s president or chancellor or
committee responsible for intercollegiate athletics; (Revised: 3/8/06)
(c) The sport is administered by the department of intercollegiate athletics;
(d) The eligibility of student-athletes participating in the sport shall be reviewed and certified by a staff member designated by the institution’s president or chancellor or committee responsible for intercollegiate
athletics policy; and (Revised: 3/8/06)

3.2.4.5.1 Intent to Sponsor a Varsity Sport. Once an institution evidences an intent or commitment
to sponsor a sport on a varsity level (e.g., official announcement that competition will be conducted on a
varsity basis, employment of individuals to coach the varsity team), the institution must begin applying
NCAA recruiting regulations to the applicable sport. (Adopted: 1/14/97)
