Ya sure he could leave but where is he going? Sports broadcast jobs (like covering an elite program) do not come available often and usually when they do, their replacements have already been chosen.
-
B10 wouldn’t, you have to be a full fledged B10 school to get a piece of the pie (it’s in their league rules) from their network. thinking outside the box is fine but saying stupid things like getting rid of Duluth, St. Cloud and CC for lindenwood, TSU and a club team is just plain stupid. Adding those three diminishes our leagues strength TREMENDOUSLY.

I seen what it cost per month/year but I never heard that $190 million deal and it seems awfully high but hockey east is right in ESPNs yard. I do know the deal isn’t just for men’s hockey, it also includes the females too. They are essentially buying 28 teams and well over 600 games.
-
It will be on ESPN+ app, you will still have to pay extra as they won’t air the games (unless a “premier” game is negotiated) on the regular ESPN channels. The ESPN app is like 8 bucks a month.

Dude, have you looked at college hockey's biggest games (Frozen Four)? The 2024 championship game didn't even draw 500k viewers.
-
UNLV can't even get people to watch a game for football or basketball! In what world will the random person flipping the tv, stop to watch a niche sport with UNLV in it?
-
Your question, word for word. right now...if nchc had to choose between having CC in the league or UNLV which would you choose? @siouxkid12 @SiouxFanatic The way you wrote it implies that I have to choose at this moment. At this moment, UNLV being a full fledge D1 program in hockey is just chatter.
-
CC 100%, I am not watching a club team.
-
And you think lindenwood and TSU would compete money wise? Lindenwood has a student population of 7,500 kids with a $200 million dollar endowment, while TSU has a student population of 8,200 students and a $91 million dollar endowment. neither of these schools is going to give you your "eyeballs" for more money in streaming rights.
-
You are just moving it from one platform to another. ESPN isn't coming in to produce the games, they just take the feed from wherever, so you'll still get the same quality that is on nchc.tv
-
So drop Duluth, St. Cloud, and CC from our conference so you can watch game on TV? That is just dumb.
-
To buy all the necessary equipment and hire a staff of experienced camera crew just to air hockey? St. Cloud, Duluth, CC, Miami Ohio and Western aren't going to drop all that money themselves just to air hockey. Yes, all the schools should have good production of their games but again this just shows how low of a priority hockey is around the country compared to other sports. The money just does not add up for the schools to justify dropping a huge amount of money on equipment and then hiring a full-time crew for one sport.
-
It easier said than done. It costs roughly $2 million (or more) to get all the equipment needed to match what Midco does and a team of individuals to produce it. I highly doubt many schools in the NCHC will want to fork over that kind of money themselves. UND is very fortunate to have MIDCO (and previously Forum Communications) in their backyard and willing to do it.

IF this is our only option, they better have the band play it and not some recording.

2025-26 University of North Dakota Hockey Season

My money is on Herter. However, if I get to Judy's soon, I will be able to report back with 100% certainty on who it will be within the hour. -

I was thinking the same thing about Herter. It would be an unbelievable staff if it were to happen. -
I didn't realize Judy's was big enough for all of you people who like to make stuff up. Are you sure you know what whistleblower means?
-
I’ll give credit where it’s due and this was well done. What you wrote was exactly how I felt after watching his presser.

When Dane talked about culture, I took it a different way. I think Dane knew that the locker room issues were made public (mainly from gossip) and that players were already “leaving” in January. I don’t know why but when he said “culture” I took it as “I’m not putting up with that sh$# anymore and we are getting our identity back”. I feel like from now on we are going to see teams that are very physical but also play with perfection. that’s just me though
-
Karl needs to go. How can you expect players to live in grand forks when you and your family don’t
-
Last time a local news reporter reported on a UND player in a bad light (I think it was one of Oshie’s incidents), said reporter got a call and got her butt chewed.
-
He’s played at the pro level, he knows what it takes and with having young kids at home, it probably didn’t make sense to him.
-
You’re acting like this is the JFK assassination. What skeletons are you even talking about? I think it’s time for you to leave Judy’s too
-
I sure hope not. How is that a great hire when the guy who got fired is replaced by the guy he knocked out of the tournament.
