[NU Sports] Big Ten Hockey

[Sportsbiz]

I don't think, although I'm not sure, that there are six schools playing
women's lacrosse and six is the minimum number necessary for a conference
sport.  I don't see NU starting hockey anytime soon. Even if you ignore the
expense factor (we don't have a rink) we would have potential Title IX
issues based on the number of men needed for a hockey team and the lack of
an easy women's counterpart to start up.
