If you are talking college hockey, yeah, UND, DU, CC, and UMD fans would not be happy about having Notre Dame hockey on all the time. But if you are a general sports network, and want to attract as many viewers as possible, Notre Dame will bring way more eye balls then all of those schools. Obviously it shows that DU is in a large market and is also a prominent hockey school based on the number of games they are getting. So if UND, DU, CC, and UMD fans are happy not being on a fairly big time network because the big time network would want more game from the big time school (but less so in hockey), its hard for me to understand. There are two sides to every coin of course, and while it is nice that the NCHC didn't just sell out to Notre Dame, it also would have been nice to have Notre Dame over SCSU and consequently have more conference games on TV and the Conference Tourney (which UND likely does well in as apposed to Notre Dame) as well.
