No better platform for making an announcement as significant as the launching of a new D1 program.
    I disagree. This is when we hear rumors of schools joining the icebox. Neither PSU or ASU made this announcement and they were smart, this tourney isn't about them but the four schools already playing D1 hockey.

      BOOM! or a dud?

      @JoeMeloni: Per a Big Ten source, the conference recently instructed teams not to schedule non-conference games for the 2021-22 season and beyond, likely to allow the league time to figure out its new conference format with the Illinois announcement coming later this month.

        For the love of all that is holy, stick at 24 conference games. The other two best conferences in the country do it despite having 8+ teams.

          Apparently (and finally) a BOOM, unless several credible sources have been duped.

                  Prob just a brief meeting to let people know there is no "I" in hockey or that they are announcing they are going to continue moving forward with a study to review how their study is going. Or in the ultimate I-rony, the press conference is to announce they are starting a WOMEN'S D-I hockey program.

                    Remember their presser and media release a year or two ago? WHere they had too many men on the ice, they were playing the Rangers, and they were missing a ref, all of which happened in the 4th period (or some such nonsense).

                      He has me blocked too. I don't have a profile photo and never tweet. I just use it as a source for news. We must be in some filter he uses for bots.

                            Opinion: It looks like hockey will be a go but I'm guessing they are waiting to see who will pay for the $100 million arena which will house multiple IL sports.
