So, basically, RIT joins the ever-increasing pool of schools rumored to be going D-I, like Navy, URI, Penn State...

In a completely different line of thinking and honest, well-meaning criticism, is it me, or is the actual content space of USCHO.com getting increasingly narrow and choked off by advertisments and other things around it?
At least it isn't as poorly designed as the ecac website remains to be.

They just switched from a full-width dynamically sized column format to a fixed width format because the former is a major headache with certain browsers.

OK, I'll certainly buy that. Good answer.
I'd still like to see the home page a little less busy. But I guess they've gotta pay the bills somehow. It is a pretty decent free product, so I won't complain. As long as it doesn't bloat itself with "features" like espn.com.

I'd rathe rnot go to jail but the meat of the article was...
Look for the Rochester Institute of Technology, which plays in Div. III ECAC West, to take its program Div. I with the commencement of the ’05-06 season, joining Atlantic Hockey.
Reportedly, RIT has already received the approval of the Atlantic Hockey coaches. Sources indicate that the league athletic directors will be meeting to discuss the subject this Wednesday.

This would be great news for Rochester. If the Tigers can come close to duplicating their D3 success on the D1 level they'd have an impressive program (that's a big if, obviously).
I thought some of the interesting subtext in the article was centered around RIT's increasing enrollment and facilites build out. If they want to offer scholarships they'll need to elevate all their programs -- dare a Rochester area school develop a D1 football program? (Trivia time: what current NFL head coach popped his head coaching cherry at RIT?)
If RIT was already developed as a D1 program I would have rather seen them in the ECAC over Quinny.

Granted I've never been to Quinnipiac so I can't properly compare, but I went to a game at RIT once and they've got some serious hockey fans to go with their history of success at the DIII level.

Who do you pair with RPI in that scenario?

Colgate-RPI is not the worst travel partnership in the world. Colgate-Princeton is a little sketchy. As it is, we're probably going to have Yale and Quinnipiac be in different travel partnerships despite being neighbors.

For both Yale's men's and women's squads, Quinnipiac's move to the ECAC lays the groundwork for an in-state rivalry.
"We don't have that many great rivalries," forward Jeff Hristovski '06 said. "We just have Harvard. UConn is out of conference. Quinnipiac, they're getting better every year. It'll be nice having another Connecticut team to play against."
Though it has not been officially announced, it seems likely that Quinnipiac with replace Princeton as Yale's travel partner.
