I hope it happens for you guys. It's anyone's guess what conference ASU lands in but I'm guessing the BTHC would love to expand beyond six teams. Bringing in ASU and one current Big Ten school would accomplish that but what current school would that be? In that scenario the BTHC would initially be criticized for the lack of overall strength until the new programs get up to speed. I would also assume ASU joining for ice hockey only would be with the understanding they would be able to leave without penalty if a PAC or other western oriented hockey conference ever comes to fruition. Since that won't be anytime in the near future it would allow other Big Ten schools to more thoroughly study the feasibility of adding D1 ice hockey. It'll be interesting for sure. Hopefully ASU is competitive from the get go so other schools can see the possibilities.
