Utah to B1G?

[maroonfive]

I think the B1G should bring in both Arizona schools. Phx is the 12th largest market and at the same time lock down the whole state. The way the higher ed system is run in Arizona you aren’t going to just take one school anyway. Both are now AAU schools and probably from a financial standpoint the best pick unless you could poach Texas A & M and Texas which I don’t see happening.

Arizona State has hockey +++++.

I wish the U would just get ASU on their hockey schedule every year, with the away games in February. Great way to get fans to travel. I would probably go every year.

Arizona State makes more sense to me than Utah, for whatever that's worth.

Agree.

I think of the west/southwest non SEC poaches I would rank them:
Arizona state
Colorado
Utah
Arizona (they may rank lower if you already have ASU)
Stanford
Cal
Kansas
Other (WSU, ok state, OR State, IA st, Kansas st, Houston, TCU, Baylor)
