Frozen Four

[Beau Vine]

Michigan-Notre Dame
North Dakota-Boston College

Michigan is making their NCAA-best 23rd trip to the FF; Notre Dame is going for the first time.

This is UND's four straight FF, and they've played BC in the semis the last three years.

And I'm going to for the first time.

Is there ever a chance UT could have a college hockey team? Besides the intramural one they have now?

Probably not, due to Title IX, the NCAA mandate requiring universities to spend an equal amount of money on men's and women's athletics. Currently, women's volleyball, women's soccer, and women's rowing all offset football (there are no men's teams in those sports). To add hockey, we'd have to cut a men's sport or add a women's sport.

Since we already have the facilities, it's much more likely to see a men's soccer team first.
