[NU Sports] PENN STATE TO START VARSITY HOCKEY; BIG TEN TO FOLLOW?

[Sportsbiz]

For NU to push hockey up to varsity would not only require the funds to
cover hockey but would require the funds to push a woman's team of similar
numbers (hockey, crew?) to varsity to assure Title IX compliance. That means
a double revenue hit to an already strained athletic budget so I wouldn't
anticipate it happening anytime soon.
