A purely objective re-alignment based on geography (in other words,a
pipe dream):
CCHA
Michigan
Michigan State
Ferris State
Northern Michigan
Western Michigan
MTU
Miami
Ohio State
BGU (if they are still around or substitute Niagara)
Notre Dame
UAH
Robert Morris (or Penn State!)
WCHA
Wisconsin
Bemidji State
Minnesota
North Dakota
UMD
UNO
Denver
Colorado
UAA
UAF
St. Cloud
Mankato
(Air Force needs to be here too but there has to be a dance partner--
Northern Arizona?)
And you see, it is all Hockey East's fault--they should have never
left the ECAC!
