Who contols the economic side of this? I take it the athletic
department has nothing to do with it since it is just a club sport. By
sounds of it UI makes a lot of money off hockey. Where does it go? Do the
players get payed? Who arranges the TV and radio deals? Who sells the
tickets? Why is it just a club sport?
