I saw this on
Husker_Mike's Twitter. Looks like the ball is rolling forward. Also
College Hockey News is reporting that a WCHA expansion vote forthcoming today.
UNO Athletic Director Trev Alberts said late Thursday that interest from the Western Collegiate Hockey Association has rekindled following a conference call of league athletic directors.
“There has been a reassertment from the WCHA, and the WCHA is participating in conversations — the results of which I am not aware,” Alberts said.
Just last week, Alberts said that the WCHA's interest in UNO seemed to have waned. The WCHA has been exploring expanding from 10 teams to 12 since Bemidji State applied for admission in April. UNO, a member of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, has been the league's top priority.
Meanwhile Thursday, one report indicated that discussion between UNO and the WCHA will continue as a result of the league athletic directors' discussion, while another indicates an announcement of some kind could come as early as today.
The Duluth News-Tribune is reporting on a blog that WCHA Commissioner Bruce McLeod said Thursday that “developments had changed” since the Wednesday night conference call and that an announcement could be made today. The blog didn't quote McLeod directly, nor did it specify what the announcement might be.
