Has anybody else noticed that the two most recent teams to leave Div-I hockey (Kent and UIC) are schools that are classified Div-I for all sports, while two of the three teams that are frequently mentioned on Hockey-L as considering moving to Div-I (Mankato and Nebraska-Omaha, but not Niagara) are not classified as Div-I for other sports? I suspect that this has a lot to do with a commitment to a single sport that must be made by a non-Div-I to go big-time in hockey. What was the most recent school prior to Kent to give up hockey? Was it Notre Dame when it left the CCHA for a time or perhaps Northern Arizona and US International?
