In today's issue, we take a look at a developing story in college wrestling. Is it a precursor to a move in college hockey?

The Ivy League schools severed a 100+ year relationship with the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association this week in favor of playing under an Ivy League championship, creating a new auto-bid to the NCAA wrestling tournament in the process.

Could the Ivy League universities do the same in hockey? No one has said yes or no, but it might make sense, and they have enough teams for an auto-bid.

If it ever happened, it would spark widespread realignment.

Also, the NCHC announced that they will move their conference tournament to campuses in 2025.
