Pretty sure I've said that numerous times but people still like to think otherwise.

Shelton Benjamin and Verne gagne both wrestled at the U.

Wrestling is a lot bigger than you would think.

In some cases, wrestling overshadows hockey.

I would assume it would make no difference if other sports are out East or West. The only thing that matters is, how much money will the hockey program bring in if they join the B10?

What's the deal with everyone thinking that the B10 is going to reach out to UND anyway? Yes, UND should listen but I don't see any reason to make the jump. 1. The membership is only in hockey. 2. It's not like UND will be getting a huge chunk of TV revenue. UND has the power in the NCHC, why give that up and move onto the B10 where you don't have power? 3. The league sucks right now and at this moment it doesn't look good for them, compared to the NCHC. 4. Thursday/Sunday games, there wont be many but there will be some. I don't like the idea of resting players two days between games against the same teams and it is troublesome for fans. 5. UND is already in a conference with schools that put hockey first, B10 puts hockey behind other sports as Football, Men's and Woman's BBall. Why go to a conference like that.

Nebraska is a big market for the B10 and with the Huskers already a full member, it wouldn't be that surprising.

So by these standards, why would the B10 want to associate with UND, I mean UND's endowment doesn't even come close to the lowest one in the B10.

The financial commitment is there for BSU as with Mankato, so you can throw that theory out the window.

Count me and the wife in!

Why don't you cringe when WMU was added to the conference? Sure they may be D1 across the board but they have no history in hockey, at least Bemidji State can say they have reached past the 2nd round of the tournament and made it to the Frozen Four.

Watered down? Half the conference already plays in D2!

IF/WHEN ASU goes to the B10, it will be for a short period of time. Notre Dame going to the B10 only makes sense, there is no reason for them to even be in HE. The folks over at the B10 know what they need to do to make their conference more attractive and that is why they are pro-actively adding teams. I would agree with you that the B10 is imploding if they stayed at 6 teams but that's not the case. In fact with these recent moves, I believe they are aligning themselves to be one of the better conferences. North Dakota will not join the B10, they would add more regional teams before bolting to a new conference. With the recent success at Bemidji St. and Mankato St. I wouldnt be surprised if the people at the NCHC are keeping an eye on them to see how long they can keep it up. Just my 2 cents.

You should know, you are apart of the gboc

Makes perfect sense for Notre Dame to make the move as they are basically in the heart of the B10. I could see Arizona St. making the move but the NCHC would be the better fit until the Pac-12 starts hockey.

well played sir...

I hope you are kidding.....

I love the afternoon game, I get out of work early and I wont be too inebriated for it!
