out some reasons in favor of adding women's hockey. I said there were no compelling reasons and the response listed some reasons, but the only one that I consider "compelling" is the first, that women at ND may want to play hockey. Those women have that opportunity to play for ND with the club team, and many do so. A vibrant club team satisfies the women who want to play and lets potential students know that there is that opportunity. Women students can satisfy their desire to play hockey on an organized team without the burdens of being a varsity athlete. It uses the facilities that we have without the needless expansion of varsity sports that is already too big for the size of the university undergraduate population.
