I like Ice Hockey myself.


I've enjoyed watching the Stanley Cup playoffs this year. But in the NCAA, it's a minor sport. I'd like to see it come into the ACC at some point. It's one of the potential benefits of a UConn addition. I'd like to see an ACC Channel partner with Hockey East at some point.

But regarding the ACC, since the lacrosse is much more prevalent in the ACC, I'd like to see ACC schools that don't have either lacrosse or ice hockey focus on adding lacrosse if they add anything. It fits the ACC's heritage better.

Regarding what would be major sport number 4, it's soccer. And that is an international sport as well. 204 schools sponsor NCAA Division 1 men's soccer, and 327 women's. IMO, the SEC needs to make a move to add men's soccer. They certainly make enough money to pull it off. I'm not sure what they are waiting on. Ditto for the Big XII.
