The article didn't provide details of the three divisions or the travel
partners. It must work like this:
North:
Michigan Tech & Northern Michigan
Minnesota-Duluth & North Dakota
Central:
Minnesota & Wisconsin
St Cloud & Mankato State
West:
Colorado College & Denver
Alaska-Anchorage & Alaska-Fairbanks
This could work. It's certainly worthy of consideration. The biggest
problem I see is the potential travel problems between pairs host schools on
a given weekend. Minneapolis--Madison and Duluth--Grand Forks are both 260
mile trips. Winter storms could cause some difficult travel.
