The fact that these NIL collectives are needed should tell you that this is pretty much a ponzi scheme. If the players were creating so much revenue there would be money to pay them. But people don't think about the costs of facilities, travel, insurance etc. Sports are becoming a financial drain, with actual students paying a sizable cost and providing minor league sports at the expense of the academic mission of the school. There will be some sort of shock to the system soon, as it simply isn't sustainable

It's possible, Utah, BYU, UVU, Utah State and Weber State all real close.
BYU and UVU could share the Olympic Arena in Provo.
BYU stopped playing in 2022.
Utah is the one that seems to be following UNLV on how they do things.
Weber State uses the old Olympic curling arena (Weber County Sports Complex on Weber State University campus seats 2400) and I actually like it, they also added another NHL Ice sheet to the Marquardt Fieldhouse. Might be able to renovate it to add seat to the end that is all windows but behind the bench's I don't think that can add anything.
Utah State was rumored to be getting a new arena but not sure if that ever happened.
Utah ACHA D1; Weber, Utah Valley, and Utah State ACHA D2.
I went to quite a few days of curling in 2002. The curling village was great and you could hang with the teams. We drank with Kevin Martin and his Canadian team a couple nights and I remember one of my colleagues hitting on the Swedish women. Good times.

With the NHL looking like it's coming to town and the 2034 Olympics very likely I wonder if Utah or BYU or maybe both will jump on the college hockey train

Inability to have a homegrown goalie is the one flaw I see the past few years. Bot having that puts pressure on everything else. The other thing, and it's painful to admit, but the Ralph was the end of the blue collar culture of our team and to an extent the fan base. We are now the cake eaters. 7 titles in the 42 seasons prior to its opening One in the 23 since .

Would you still distribute teams across the four sites our would you group them based on regions? Ie. West teams in two regions and East teams in the other two.
distribute them, and they could be pods like mens basketball, so the two brackets at each regional wouldn't necessarily have to be the ones that play each other in the Frozen Four. So using this year as an example, if the Regional sites were say Manchester, N.H. and Des Moines
Manchester 1 Th-Sat
BC-Michigan Tech and UW-QU
Manchester 2 Fri-Sun
BU-RIT and Minnesota-Omaha
Des Moines 1 Th- Sat
Denver-UMass and Maine-Michigan
Des Moines 2 Fr-Sun
Mich. Sti-Western Michigan and North Dakota-Cornell
Frozen Four would be Manchester 1 vs Des Moines 2 and Manchester 2 vs Des Moines 1. I flipped the UND and Maine to spread the top 8 by conference a little better, that's a personal preference that likely wouldn't happen.

They just need to get away from the schools bidding on regionals and have conferences do it. They can then pull from schools that aren't in the tourney for staffing, and you don't have the "host team guaranteed to play somewhere" issue. So say the Big Ten bids for Grand Rapids, the NCHC bids for Fargo, ECAC builds Albany and Hockey East bids Manchester. They could also go with the approach that womens' basketball was taken for Sweet Sixteen and Elite EIght and have 2 sites effectively host 2 regionals each. That would create more festival like atmosphere, allow neutrals to see games four days in a row and two Frozen Four tickets punched. That probably drives better attendance as you can still try to position as many teams as close to home as possible with one location in the east and one in the west, but also maintains the fairness of neutral sites.

hockey is probably the only sport that doesn't overlap with the main campus..............would they ever have the balls to shutter every sport at omaha branch other than hockey and just ask/say that the mavs are the huskers and see if big10 would accept that?
would save a ton and having the goofs and those stinkin' badgers coming to omaha/nebraska would be a huge huge get obviously
They could do that. Long Island University merged their athletic programs, so there is a precedent

Maybe don’t have an offensive superstar, but we probably will be a bit better defensively, and a little harder to play against. Rather than the power play running through Blake, they’ll need to whip the puck around a little faster to get those cross ice openings for some one timers from Berg and Perron. Hopefully Perron recognizes this as an opportunity for him to be the man on the power play, and to be more of a trigger man period with his shot.
Agree. There were times when it felt like guys were just watching and Blake would try to do too much. I think part of the late swoon was that teams had figured out our power play and we didn't adjust quickly enough.

Minnesota has not shown any interest at this point and I don't think they will. Have heard BJ's agent initial NIL ask turned some SEC schools off completely.
Maybe he'll go home to join up with the defending national champs.

absolutely love it when someone from a different country feels like he/she has to tell Americans how we should do it.........mind boggling.
I was kind of wondering how the student visa thing works. Assume the same holds true for hockey, so hope 1883 is hitting up UND alums in WInnipeg and elsewhere up north too and finding "work" for athletes to do in Canada. Either that or we'll probably see a lot of foreign athletes getting married in their freshman year to get a green card.

Thank you!
They recently had some super fun to watch matches with Jon Rahm, but Wes has also posted some great short game tutorials. They have 2 channels Bryan Brothers Golf and Bryan Brothers TV, so you might have to check them both. Grant Horvat teaches is another good channel, he's done several chipping videos on his teaching channel and I think he might have done a short game video with Colin Morikawa.

And which team is in the Frozen Four?
That's one indicator, I gave another. One that is an actual comparison between the two teams. I'd love to hang banner #9, but the NCAA is a small sample size. The Phillies have beaten the Braves in the playoffs the past two years, but you'd be hard pressed to find many people who would say the Phillies are killing the Braves. As much as people want to think you can time when a team gets hot, there is a degree of luck involved, be it play itself, status of injuries, any number of factors. Not having Sanderson available in 2022 or Pyke this year wasn't a bad coaching decision, just a reality of the game. You can talk about "next man up" all you want, but subtracting key players is going to hurt, just the way things are.

Last time I checked, Denver is not in the B1G. They are a small, private school. Yet they are killing us in recruiting and the portal.
Yet they only went 1-3 against UND this year, with the lone win in the fluky 3x3.

I'm old enough now to where I can't let what a 20 year old (Whom I'll never probably meet) decides to do with his (ope, he/they/them) life effect mine too much.
They've got to make a decision and live with it, and I've got to figure out how to help my 12 year old figure out his short game so he can make the junior high golf team.
Let's get the ship righted with whoever is on the roster in September. I'll still bleed green either way and still have to explain to my wife why I yell at the TV on Fridays and Saturdays from October through March. (Cough....April @brianvf)
Have him watch the Bryan Bros on youtube. Wedgeley is a short game maestro.

Oh my ... (per Schlossman):
I'd be OK with regulation being all that matters with regard to Pairwise. I'm not a fan of 3x3. A tie is a legitimate result and probably what should be reflected when looking at resumes for NCAAs, which is all the Pairwise exists for.

Just saw this on x.com fcsradio.com MVFC to expand south.
Why would The Citadel be interested? This makes zero sense.

Get more padding for d men or let goalies stop the puck. Zmolek missing omaha series was huge and Pyke out for the regional was costly. Don't know if it's putting more focus on postseason but just staying healthy for postseason.

Hope we can grab someone helpful from free agency or make a nice international pickup.

Factoid of the day: Jason Blake played four seasons of college hockey.
And sat for a year as a transfer as well.

Titles are too difficult to win to be expected, but the excitement generated during the Hak era was unparalleled. Seemingly every year could be our year. Never missed an NCAA tourney (Brad missed three), 7 Frozen Four appearances in 11 years (Brad 1 in 8), plus all of the conference postseason success with Hakstol. You could spend your money on St Paul or a regional knowing your team would be there and they'd show up. You could buy Frozen Four tickets in advance knowing your team had a better chance of being there than not. It was all very exciting even if they all ultimately ended up in disappointment. What's exciting about UND hockey right now?
I don't kbow what kind of revisionist history this is but after 2006 I viewed the NCAAs with dread, knowing a collapse was coming. Making the Frozen Foir, but then getting crushed or now showing up isn't some badge of honor. Prior to the Hak years UND took titles at a 50/50 clip in the Frozen Four. Then it was a win in first semi in 2005 followed by 7 straight losses The "laser focus" in 2011 had them so tight you could sense the loss coming even after UMDs win that afternoon should have created more momentum. At least in 2016 UND got it done, taking out a hated rival in semis and crushing the top seed in the final. I'm as disappointed in the recent losses as anyone, but one and done is fickle, and we've been on the wrong side of late. We still have a more recent title than every blue blood outside of Denver.

Just need to get a sports psychologist for neutral aite games. Thata the common thread. With NCHC moving to campus we should be OK, juat need early round NCAA games moving to campus and we'd be golden.
