Message: [QUOTE="mac2351, post: 4836329, member: 2708"] Mike McMahon has been recently speculating what would happen if the Ivy schools broke off from the ECAC. [URL unfurl="true"]https://open.substack.com/pub/mikemcmahon/p/364-what-could-a-fictional-college?r=1eckeh&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post[/URL] ECAC Added: Army, Bentley, Holy Cross, RIT, Sacred Heart Lost: Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale The ECAC survives by adding high-quality academic institutions that fit the mold alongside surviving members Clarkson, Colgate, RPI, St. Lawrence, and Union. Hockey East Added: Quinnipiac Lost: None Quinnipiac's administration has loved rubbing elbows with the Ivy League schools as part of the ECAC. If they're gone, I don't see a reason for Quinnipiac to stay in the ECAC. Meanwhile, Hockey East has been patient waiting for a 12th team. League presidents want a school that will bring value to the league. Quinnipiac checks off a lot of boxes. Atlantic Hockey Added: Long Island, Stonehill, Utica Lost: Army, Bentley, Holy Cross, RIT, Sacred Heart, Air Force This makes Atlantic Hockey an eight-team league. For now, it seems that Atlantic Hockey is already exploring expansion, and in this fictional world, they'll add what they can to stay afloat after losing six schools. Air Force to the CCHA [/QUOTE]
