Chicago Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-illinois-big-ten-ncaa-hockey-study-20180308-story.html) reports on a study has been released advocating for University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to add a varsity ice hockey team, bumping up the number of Big Ten schools with hockey. The paper's sarcastic sports columnist (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rosenblog/ct-spt-nfl-sexuality-question-combine-rosenbloom-20180309-story.html) is not so enthusiastic.
Quote from: Steve RosenbloomThe University of Illinois said results of a feasibility study launched last year indicate "growing excitement among the statewide hockey community to bring Div. 1 hockey to Champaign.'' Seriously? Excitement? Quick, someone show the hockey community what Illinois has done with Div. 1 basketball and football programs.
