Re: U of Illinois AD & NHL joint press conference
I think Illinois might be the exception. The Chicago suburbs are a hotbed of both youth hockey and NHL interest. Since they provide the overwhelming bulk of students to UIUC, I think it follows that a D1 program there would have strong student support from the beginning. With U of I's revenue sports in the crapper, U of I could really take off as a hockey school if this were to be done right.
