The financial fallout from the coronavirus pandemic hit men’s college hockey on Friday when Alabama Huntsville announced it is dropping its program, effective immediately. The university also announced it is eliminating men’s tennis and women’s tennis.

“We are making this decision now to allow our student-athletes in hockey, men's and women's tennis programs to have the opportunity to play at another institution if they choose to do so,’’ UAH President Darren Dawson and athletic director Cade Smith said in a joint statement.

I wonder if they’ll merge into a single athletic dept and then play as an independent in DI?

I think with the WCHA becoming the CCHA, then the NCHC should revert back to the WCHA.

Nope

Good deal, I had thought it was just the Alaska schools getting bounced. Sad day considering I was a BSU alum
