Arizona has the role of the 1970's version of "Hawaii Five-O". The original Five-O was filmed in Hawaii and back then every CBS exec had to "check on production" and take a two-week junket (boondoggle) to the set. When Five-O was reaching it's useful life those CBS exec's paid Hawaiian vacations were going away. But lo-and-behold just as Five-O was going away, along comes a Texan with a fake British accent, a couple Doberman pinchers, a slickster named Rick, a chopper pilot, a Ferrari, ... and Tom Seleck's mustache. Magnum PI kept an excuse for CBS execs to go to the islands to "check on production" for about another decade. And gee-why were those shows 're-imagined" recently? <-- That's rhetorical. For NHL execs, especially the Canadian ones, Arizona in winter is "Hawaii 5-0/Magnum PI. " --> Gotta go and watch the team on the road ...

Yup: "What can't we do" instead of focusing on "what can we do."

That is most curious now that you mention it. If Griz and Bob are the stars of the show, why involve the BSC (and have to share the money).

Correct.

Does anyone pay to watch them? It's about eyeballs and dollars.

Schlossman's already been there ... ready the replies. Schlossman's reply addresses money. The NCHC's reply hits something I did not realize: ESPN+ is USA only; Sidearm goes international ... like Canadian recruits and families. (Or even Hellsten's family in Sweden.) An international platform makes sense.

This fits perfectly here. It's a move described when they announced what they were looking for in media rights. And as pretty-much expected, the former Learfield local marketing guys are moving to "Fighting Hawks Sports Partnerships".

You are correct in that assessment.

Scripps MT is seven stations (Billings, Boseman/Butte, Great Falls x2, Helena x2, Missoula). Scripps looks like the MT version of ForumComm with stations in the major cities of the state.

If Kunz wants to stand in front and pound home every loose rebound from a point shot ... I'm good with that.

And with the Jackson Kunz tweet we're down to Kaleb Johnson (who has no in-game highlights) and the assumed four incoming freshmen.

The WAC and ASUN (both FCS) are working together. All the recent conference realignments put them in need of each other for a while. https://wacsports.com/sports/fball/2021-22/releases/20220518f0frd5

Well, here's something to get through the next 100 days.

One is 6 feet, but both are light in their frames (as expected before that 19 year old male testosterone kicks in).

Face slap the defense?

They forget there's something worse than building things ... it's not building things. Building shows hope and progress. Not building shows the opposite.

Ludvig Hoff playing for Norway at Worlds on NHL Network right now.

Scheels Arena in Fargo is giggling. So is REA-TRF.

Read their 990. They support educational institutions (not fans).

You're not wrong, but that's of no concern to the NCHC. They file a Form 990 with the IRS; they are not for profit. As such, they pay no taxes. Any money they make they retain for expenses/costs or give back to the schools.
