I know nothing about UN-O, but from what I have seen on this list, college
hockey would seem to be an almost perfect fit as potentially the only big-time
sport there. That is important, from an identity standpoint, for its
potential to eventually do well.
The lack of a resident student body might be a worry. But perhaps the
Plattsburgh and Elmira models apply, albeit on a larger scale. At those two
schools the townspeople provide a very significant portion of a rabid fan
base. I suspect the same thing would happen in Omaha.
