Penn State joining the Big 10 should have no effect whatsoever on their hockey program. Hockey has not been a Big 10 sport for at least 25 years. Some of the Big 10 schools are in the CCHA, others are in the WCHA, and others have club teams (e.g. Iowa, Illinois). I don't think there is any interest in the Big 10 to add hockey to the Big 10 roster. Most schools are happy with their current arrangement and have established some nice rivalries with non-Big 10 schools.
