I agree with this. At least a full NCHC schedule provides four games each year against Dever and CC, and those two schools are the most appealing NCHC schools, to me anyways, outside of UND. I know all about Lucia's blockage of the Gopher series, but I assumed that with the Big Ten only having 6 teams there would be a good chance that there would be at least one Big Ten school on the schedule every year. Even a crappy school like Ohio St. or Penn St. would be more intriguing to the casual observer like me than most WCHA schools. Even though most WCHA schools probably would benefit UND more in the Pairwise and such.
Is the BU game a return trip for an earlier game, or the start of a new contract?
