Universities should not give out scholarships for sports. Period.

Including football.

No scholarships.

Yes, hockey is a club sport. ACHA. American Collegiate Hockey Association.





In 2015–16, there were 60 schools competing in Division I, with 59 of them organized into six conferences, plus one team (Arizona State) playing as an independent program with no conference affiliation. The conferences are:

• Atlantic Hockey Association
• Big Ten Conference
• ECAC Hockey
• Hockey East Association
• National Collegiate Hockey Conference
• Western Collegiate Hockey Association

The NCAA does not currently sponsor a championship in Division II, as there is only one conference that currently sponsors hockey, the Northeast-10 Conference. The NCAA conducted a Division II national championship from 1978 to 1984 and also from 1993 to 1999.



The 74 programs in Division III hockey are part of 9 conferences:

• Commonwealth Coast Conference
• Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference
• Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
• New England Hockey Conference
• New England Small College Athletic Conference
• Northern Collegiate Hockey Association
• State University of New York Athletic Conference
• United Collegiate Hockey Conference
• Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

The American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) is the sanctioning body for non-NCAA or "club" ice hockey in the United States. The organization provides structure, regulations and promotes the quality of collegiate ice hockey.

Teams separated into three men's and two women's divisions with over 300 teams from across the United States. The recruiting process, rules and regulations, and player eligibility standards parallel that of NCAA Division III. Sometimes, ACHA and NCAA will play games against each other to complete each of their season schedules.

I think a non-club UM hockey team could do very well. Hockey is a growing sport and UM’s recruiting would be incredible. All those kids up north would love the opportunity to come down and play in South Florida.

Arizona State is having success due to that very same fact, and they just started their program a few years back.

Lacrosse first. Lots of really good high school programs in Florida now and it's already big in the ACC.

Lacrosse is a great sport. Fast, tons of scoring, enough hate and violence to scratch that itch. Great sport.
