I could've sworn I wrote a follow-up to this story already. Anyways, here's some bits from the official announcement.
The Big Ten Conference is almost certainly coming. Also, rumours have current DU coach George Gwozdecky in the mix for the coaching gig. Apparently he wants out of his Denver contract. Safe to say that Penn State would be an exciting gig for an American coach.
New rink will likely seat between 5000 and 6000, and there are already plans to host AHL and NHL exhibition games there.
The team will join Div. 1 as an independent in 2012-13, play two years at a different arena, and then move to the new facility for 2014-15, when they will presumably join a conference.
