arizona always has a competitive team.  asu is up and down.
 
arizona played and annihilated stanford a couple of years ago.  asu played ucla
and usc last season, and even in a down year, the results were equally as
unpretty.
 
i think the ucla hockey team may suffer the same fate as the football team:
too much going on, and the games are too far away from campus.  the closest
rink to the ucla campus is down in culver city, which is a trek.  not as much
of a trek as the rose bowl, though.
 
how far are the likes of usc, ucla, and stanford from title IX compliance?
they're always boasting plenty of women's teams winning plenty of titles.
