Sounds like it's a done deal to me, based on things I've heard, so I guess you're too late.
How can you say no good will come out of it? Yeah it's overdone, but I think there's lots of good that could come out of it. When UNO backed out of the Winnipeg game, it was said that we would team up with them for something else, and I think this is what that event is going to be. Makes sense. I'm totally up for going. I would guess this would be considered a non-conference game considering it's just a one-game thing, so no need to worry about WCHA points, just non-conference wins.
