Re: Is Notre Dame REALLY a Big Ten school?
No. The 5 B1G schools could have formed B1G hockey with Notre Dame (or anyone else) as an affiliate any time they wanted to. For example, the PAC-12 wrestling conference was formed with 3 PAC 12 schools and 3 affiliate schools. When there aren't enough conference member schools playing a sport, schools can form or affiliate with any conference they want to in that sport by mutual agreement.
B1G conference rules just say that if six full members do have a sport, they must play in the B1G conference. Which is how Terry Pegula created B1G Hockey.
