my 2 cents worth ...
Colleges need the NCAA to organize and control college athletics on a
national basis. The NCAA is most important to the college president,
though we probably hear most from the NCAA dealings with athletic
departments.
Although you might get some support from athletic departments wrt
withdraw of college hockey from NCAA rule, it would be impossible to
convince an administration of the overall benefits. College
administrations already face strong opposition to athletics from
people that would put academics and athletics at odds. A move away
from the NCAA would, in my opinion, be viewed as a means of throwing
away the rules so that the rich and immoral get richer, and the poor
get poorer.
I'm not even sure that you could get real support from any athletic
department, since withdrawl from NCAA in hockey would imply that the
department would then have to deal with YET ANOTHER set of rules from
hockey's NCAA replacement.
