I think you need to pull Tommy just to shake things up. Like pulling a goalie after getting down big early. Not all his fault but something has to change.
They should seriously look at forming a new D2 league with Minot, Mary, Black Hills State, SD Mines, Chadron, and MSU Billings. Would cut down travel for all of them and be a more competitive environment with roughly similar schools.
Agree across the board. Would be great to get them on the schedule alternating with Bemidji, so playing local CCHA teams every other year. Try to schedule the series so it matches up with a football game in Vermillion or Brookings for a nice travel weekend.
