If the B1G wants more NE presence, and they have already taken Johns Hopkins
for LAX, then why in the world would you not invite Boston University and Boston College for Hockey and Cornell for Hockey and Wrestling? With the BTN, the B1G surely has the profit margins to excite these universities' programs.
BU and BC are hockey royalty, and because the ACC does not include ice hockey BC should not have any issues with the ACC.
Similarly, Cornell should not have serious issues with the Ivy League because it does not sponsor these sports, though all six Ivy League schools that play collegiate hockey play in the ECAC, and six Ivy League schools compete in wrestling in the EIWA. Cornell is a power in ice hockey and wrestling for those not familiar.
All three are large research institutions and would bring a lot of Boston and New York eyeballs to the BTN.
As an additional plus, ND might no longer find Hockey East all that appealing without the two Boston schools and might consider putting their hockey team in the B1G while keeping all other sports except football in the ACC.
Why not?
