This surprises me a bit, given Notre Dame's recent move to the Big East
(except in football, of course).
Dumb question: Does Notre Dame play baseball? If so, who do they play
with? That may give us some indication of whether ND would join a Big
(11) 10 hockey league.

Indiana and Northwestern both have ACHA Division 2 teams. (Penn State,
Illinois and Michigan have them as well, FWIW).
> Purdue ?????

They weren't mentioned on the ACHA website (at Eastern Michigan, though
the exact URL eludes me).
I suspect that the formation of a Big 10 hockey league would spur radical
realignment in the existin gtwo western leagues. Erik is right, I doubt
the AD of any WCHA school is going to approve a scenario that cuts them
off from Minnesota. (Minnesota is half the league's big rival, after all.)
See you later,
