Complete BS, the WCHA is still in the process of trying to build up SCCC, MSU, and AA, while trying to return UMD and Tech on reasonable ongoing success... The league is already rich vs. poor and until that is further resolved, we shouldn't add more poor. The fact is that I can say every year with near 100% accuracy that the WCHA will be won next year by UND, UM, UW, DU, or CC and the last time this wasn't a true statement was about when Northern Michigan was here.
Teams like SCCC or UMD or MSU occasionally have a good year, but don't rise to the top and can't sustain it. Maybe SCCC will finally make the leap...
