Congratulations to the UC Hockey team who is moving up to D1 in 2025-26. They are currently in D3 this season after being strictly a club sport.

I can't find any information re this. Is there anything in print or on-line?Originally posted by Lobot View Post -
I am not sure about this. If they move up, they will probably stink for a decade. We are just too late to the game. That being said, when Miami decided to semi defund their basketball and football teams, they made the final four in hockey. UC will not abandon our top teams but we may have enough money to invest in a pretty good hockey team with NIL and if there is a big enough fan with deep pockets.Comment

ACHA D1 is just a higher level of club hockey. It is paid for by participant fees, and fundraising. The University does not sponsor hockey as a varsity sport just club level. They allow the club to use the UC logos, and that is about it.Comment

It was announced by the Hockey Team itself on X/TwitterOriginally posted by swilsonsp4 View Post
True Bearcat It's been a club sport in the past for sure but this seems to be something different based on their announcement. My first take was on the announcement was that this would be a Title IX issue unless the university is getting ready to pull a softball team together. Then again, Title IX might be a moot thing between current politics and NIL.Brent Wyrick

OK, found it. It is Still Club Hockey D1 so this was a confusing release from UC's Hockey Team.
