With the news that Arizona State University was admitted as an NCAA D1 team, I think it's time to bring up the Debate between ACHA D1 and NCAA schools.
Obviously not all ACHA D1 schools are able to play NCAA D1 level hockey, but There are a large majority of ACHA teams that would be able to compete with NCAA D3 teams. Previously, this argument always ended with NCAA fans/players shunning ACHA fans/players for thinking they'd have the ability to compete with NCAA teams. I think the most positive report I've found on this debate was an NCAA player saying that, at best, the top 2 or 3 ACHA programs would only be able to compete with the bottom half of the NCAA programs.
I'm not the most highly educated on this topic, so please share your insight and opinions.
