I've read on another board full of Tommy people that is the exact angle they are taking. Given the involuntary nature of their removal from the conference they may try petitioning the NCAA to transition directly to D1. You know that puts them directly on the Summit League's radar. Would be beneficial for both conferences. College hockey needs D1 schools, so there would be support there for them to join the WCHA. Pioneer for football. Heck, with FCS Non-scholarship Pioneer football I think they could still play St. John's every year too.
