I'm not sure if this comment is correct.  Michigan Tech and Northern
Michigan are both D-I hockey schools, but the other sports that they
have aren't D-I.  If these schools had to play football as D-I schools,
they would get killed.  Both schools have hosted regional woman's b-ball
tournaments.  Maybe I am misunderstanding this comment, but I don't
think so.
