Chicago Tribune 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 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.

For those of us who get our hockey news from the internet and not the newspaper, here's the USCHO article from 3/8 and the CHN article from 3/9. :-D
