Or does the numbers game mean women's hockey > will be passed over for a sport that's cheaper? An interesting sidelight on this. The higher education funding bill passed by the Minnesota House of Representatives requires that any school with Division I hockey that is not in compliance with Title IX add women's varsity hockey by 1998. This provision is not included in the Minnesota Senate version of the bill, so its future is uncertain. If passed, this would essentially require St. Cloud and Mankato to add women's hockey.
