I doubt Illinois takes their hockey team D1 anytime soon, if ever. If they add a men's team, they would haveto adda woman's team. And men's college hockey is hard enough to make profitable. Woman's college hockey is much more difficult. In fact, if you look at all of the Big Ten programs last year, only Minnesota didn't lose money.
