The Big Ten's long dance with Notre Dame continues...
On the day Penn State officially announced the addition of varsity hockey, we speculated that the Big Ten might invite Notre Dame to the conference as a hockey member.
Now John Shipley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press is reporting that the two sides are in discussions...
Paul Kelly, president of College Hockey Inc., said Tuesday the Big Ten Conference has asked Notre Dame if it's interested in joining a new hockey conference.
"The invitation has been extended," said Kelly, whose year-old company is working with the NCAA to increase the profile of college hockey.
"But as I understand it," he added, "the Big Ten's rule is that if you come in for one sport, you come in for all of them, and Notre Dame is interested in keeping its independence in football."
