P2N-- Hockey is a very interesting factor for realignment as I type. Some
view it as the parakeet in cage as used by miners to test for bad air in the
mine. What I mean by this is the hockey league that Notre Dame has been
playing in is recently defunct. A new league made up of non B1G members formed
and at one time Notre Dame had said it was going to join it. That league
has formed but Notre Dame has not joined up, just sitting. Why is Notre Dame
not involving itself with the non B1G league and simply sitting? I suspect it
continues to test the B1G waters for a deal it can sell to alumni and one that
is a financial winner. The parakeet continues to live. Talks continue.

Notre Dame was turned down a year or so ago when it asked the B1G to play
B1G conference hockey. The B1G does not do associate membership - the
response.

My opinion is that if Notre Dame comes to the ACC it won’t be to play football
but to house its’ non football sports. Oh, they won’t becoming to the ACC to
play hockey either.
