The WCHA wanted Ariz St to pay a travel allowances for membership. ASU said no. The NCHC will offer the Sun Devils when they get a decent arena. ASU has been recruiting well and they have put together a marvelous independent schedule.

The B1G didn't consider six as acceptable, as many OOC games were required.

I guess Pitt could just fork $$$ over to the Pens to practice/play at their training rink as there's not much campus space available. Same with Tech but I've got no idea on where the closest rink is to campus.

Tech and NC State's closest opponent is who? Alabama Huntsville? Princeton? Miami (OH)?

Liberty will likely start up a program soon with the AHA.

Ga Tech could play in the Gwinnett County arena, whatever it's called.

A Pitt benefactor would probably have to donate an arena.

Alabama seems to quite serious about hockey. Representative have toured several college rinks for ideas.
