        Presumably the same thing Ivy League hockey does with Columbia
and Penn: nothing.  Only teams that play D1 hockey would be included,
which is currently 5/11 (6/12 if Norte Dame joins) of the Big Ten Or
So.  Of course, strong club programs like Penn State and UIUC might be
enticed to go varsity (if they can manage it in a way consistent with
Title IX) if Big Ten hockey became a reality.
