I'm not sure I quite understand your question - but I'll give it the ole
college try.. I haven't sensed any league politics affecting the status of
UIC's program. However, I cannot speak for Kent State - I don't remember the
circumstances regarding their situation. UIC's situation was based completely
on internal politics and nothing more. However, I'm not sure if these
withdrawls/shutdowns are coincidental. With everything I've discussed in this
forum, my guess is that there's no link between the two events. Hope that
helps.

#      we've seen two D-I teams fold in recent years, and
#      they've both been from the ccha.  i wonder if this has
#      anything to do with league politics, as well as the
#      individual school politics being discussed at uic.  any
#      comments.
