Ralph N. Baer notes several schools as possibly non Div. I: > Alaska-Anchorage, Alaska-Fairbanks, Clarkson, Duluth, Ill-Chicago, > LSSU, Lowell, Merrimack, Michigan Tech, N. Mich, RPI, St. Cloud, St. > Lawrence, Union, and W. Mich. Well, Western Michigan is most definitely division I. They are members of the Mid America Conference which includes the following schools: Bowling Green (CCHA) Toledo Akron Kent (CCHA) Ohio Miami (CCHA) Central Michigan Eastern Michigan Western Michigan (CCHA) Ball State Also, I don't know about all sports at the University of Ilinios at Chicago, but they do field a Division I basketball team which shares the confines of the Pavilion which was built in 1982. As the story goes, the NC$$, in their infinite wisdom, damn near precluded UIC from competing in Div. I basketball because they did not have a large enough average home attendance in 1981. Of course the facility which they repalced when they built the Pavilion did not hold a large enough crowd that they could have possibly met that criterion. And so they were almost faced with having built a beautiful building for basketball and hockey and then not being able to play at the top level. - Pat - Patrick E.
