[QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 2726834, member: 794"] Some good thoughts, it'd be great to see more schools start up programs. The biggest hurdle has always been and always will be facility and conference affiliation. With so few conferences in college hockey and two of them in very tenuous financial spots (WCHA/AHA) there aren't many open conference spots. As we've seen with Arizona State, not having either of these two things solidified when you start a program makes it VERY difficult to succeed. ASU has done so because they have Pac-12 money and they've accepted the early stages as an independent team playing only for pride. Their arena situation out there has been a major hurdle to success though it appears they finally have the plans and $ to build one. Not every school has to have a Terry Pegula drop $100M+ into their bank account like Penn State did, but in order to successfully start up a program, there has to be solid plans for a facility as well as a realistic conference spot. The conference issue is especially amplified out west with the travel costs/time. [/QUOTE]
